Let's say they "majorly" introduced 6/5 1 year ago (2016)... Then I'll say 5 years, 2021. Extra kicker for killing the game of blackjack in the year 2021, of course.Quote: sidthesquidand if not when will 3-2 become 50$ or higher minium bet??
Playing it correctly means you've already won.

Never.
There is always a place where things survive: bookstores, coffee shops, cigar bars, cabarets ... and casinos wherein a square deal is valued by all and MBAs are banished.
The sloe gin fizz will never disappear entirely, the traditional flowering and deflowering place, the arboretum, lingers on, the quiet bar wherein 'double and redouble' quietly echoes, the cabaret wherein fashions from the thirties are valued, the songs of hashish are sung, heirlooms are traded and life continues ever onward.
Some casinos will keep 3:2 because patrons will value it and some casinos will actually start to value their patrons again some day.

I thought this pretty much happened already on the Las Vegas strip. Can't really blame the casino, if you wanted to play 6:5 you will have trouble finding a seat!

Eventually, it will go the way of faro and whist.

Whist didn't die, it just evolved into bridge, which is played to this day at nursing homes around the world! It's also popular in jail.

At some point in time in the future, someone will decide it would be a great marketing gimmick to offer 3:2 BJ. I feel like it's a pendulum, it will swing back the other way... although maybe never ALL the way.

Cache Creek in California already does - and uses S17 as a marketing gimmick as well.

It's never going to go away, at least not in the hi limit area. Casinos aren't stupid. They know if they offer 6/5 in hi limit, players are really going to start to notice how much they're actually being screwed. Pay a ploppy 6/5 on a $15 wager and they wont know what hit them. Pay a ploppy 6/5 on a $500 bet, red flags are going to be going off in their heads.
Any private business open to the PUBLIC (ie. droned out casinos) cannot have a criminal trespass enforced against an individual without GOOD CAUSE (Disruptive or Disorderly conduct). You will never go to prison for being thrown out of a casino for legal advantage play and then returning because it's simply unconstitutional 'as applied' to the individual. 'As applied' constitutional issues must FIRST be raised in DISTRICT COURT (trial court) to have it thrown out. You CANNOT raise it on APPEAL This is the best kept secret in the world of casinos not just in Vegas but everywhere in the country. Thank me later.

Single deck hasn't gone away completely, even though multi-deck shoes were introduced over 30 years ago.
So many better men, a few of them friends, are dead. And a thousand thousand slimy things live on, and so do I.

Not true. Went to Toledo yesterday and a gentleman was betting $100+ on 6:5 when 3:2 was just on the other side of the pit! I even mentioned this to him and he just smiled and kept playing the 6:5! No advantage play going on either.

He was probably thinking: "Why would I want to play that?? 6 is more than 3! Stupid tourist...."
Or maybe he just had a crush on the dealer.
