Hello, may someone help me to do the calculation in order to figure out the more profitable cardroom out of these two in Northern California Bay Area, both about their buster bet payouts and as a whole of their blackjack games. They pretty much have similar playing rules: H17, DA2, DAS, late surrender, insurance offered, splitting aces.

The first cardroom (required $1 commission fee per hand, blackjack pays 3:2, 8-deck shoe) offered:
3 cards bust: 1 to 1 pay ratio
4 cards bust: 3 to 1
5 cards bust: 5 to 1
6 cards bust: 25 to 1
7 cards bust: 100 to 1
8 cards bust: 200 to 1

The second cardroom (required no commission fee per hand, blackjack pays 6:5, 8-deck shoe) offered:
3 cards bust: 2 to 1 pay ratio
4 cards bust: 2 to 1
5 cards bust: 4 to 1
6 cards bust: 15 to 1
7 cards bust: 50 to 1
8 cards bust: 200 to 1

Thanks a lot.

Agreed. If you're asking for my opinion on which one is better I'd suggest taking your buy in and going out to dinner. You'll have a higher EV from that.
Playing it correctly means you've already won.
