Suit 'em Up

I just noticed a new side bet at the Red Rock titled Suit 'em Up. Please click on the link to see my analysis of it. I welcome all comments, corrections, and questions.

You can see that I'm unsure of the number of decks used. Paigowdown was with me at the time, who said it was on a double-deck table, as evidenced by the small discard tray. However, now that I think about it, I think they use continuous shufflers there on the six-deck games, and it could have been used to accumulate a small pile of cards for that before putting them back into the shuffler.

You didn't make it clear on whether these are the player's two cards to the dealer's cards. Otherwise, it's a good synopsis, short and sweet.

sorry, Michael, I think you timed this when people were glued to media about the news. Me too.

Seems straight forward. No confusion except on the number of decks involved which of course greatly affects the house edge.

Quite frankly, I would promptly pay a return visit at a time you expect the table might be open and verify as much as you can rather than leave the situation so vague since uncertainty is what would most affect your site's reputation.

Sign seen at the Silver Dollar casino near Seattle in June 2007. It would read "Side-bets are strictly prohibited", if it were spelled correctly.

Was that the Siver Dollar in Seatac, Renton, or Mill Creek? Just curious.

This seems like a potentially countable bet, right? If you don't see an ace after one deck, as an example, I would guess the bet would be highly player advantage starting on card 53.

Okay, I hope you're happy. I went back this morning and can confirm this side bet is on a DOUBLE-DECK game.
