3 to 2 for all is better for the player. 3 to 1 suited and 1 to 1 unsuited would be the same as 3 to 2 for all.

In single deck, there are 16 ways to make a suited blackjack and 48 ways to make an unsuited bj. Thus the total "coin out" for blackjack if it pays 3-to-1 suited and 1-to-1 unsuited is:

3*16 + 1*48 = 96.

If blackjack pays 3-to-2, then there are 64 ways to make a blackjack, so the total coin out for blackjack is:

64*(3/2) = 96.

Just thought I'd add my 96 cents.

Just add the payments on a "to 1" basis: (1+1+1+2)/4 suits=5/4=1.25 (2.5 to 2) < 1.5 (3 to 2)

Since we determined that 3:1 suited and 1:1 nonsuited is the same as 3:2, to the original question: 3:2 is better than 2:1 suited and 1:1 non-suited.


But I'll address it, using Dorothy's formula, and compare it to 6:5.

2*16 + 1*48 = 80

64 * ( 6/5 ) = 76.8

Therefore, 2:1 suited and 1:1 non-suited is better than 6:5 - but not much.

For the record, 7:5 would be better than 2:1 suited:

64 * ( 7/5 ) = 89.6

I'll add my 48 cents. If we are still in Kansas, is it possible the man behind the curtain is Dorothy Gale ???
