Bovada Bac live dealer

Mr. Wiz I thought you might be interested since you recommend Bovada.
I have observed a consistent misdeal across multiple dealers and sessions in one particular instance whereby dealer fails to draw a 3rd card to a 2 card banker total of 6 when player's 3rd card is 6 or 7. ( please correct me if I'm wrong )
Is this Bovada's own rules/version , or an oversight. Should we be concerned about this.
Would this affect house edge if it was in fact intentionally implemented as standard rules of play.

Do you have any video evidence?

No sir I do not

It does have a small effect on the house edge.

In commission baccarat, it decreases the player edge by 0.0172% and increases the banker by 0.0165%.
In no commission baccarat, it decreases the player edge by 0.0172% and increases the banker by 0.136%.

Will a dealer do this EVERY time the situation arises or just SOME of the time this situation arises?

Thanks for the feedback.
I have never seen it dealt correctly. At first I thought it was an honest mistake but was unfamiliar with how to question it at that moment using round ID# and pit boss feature to call attention to it.
As I continued to observe over time, it happened repeatedly with various dealers which prompted me to question it openly. That particular situation is the only misdeal I have observed as the dealers appear to be quite competent and experienced overall.
My observations have been intermittent by day and time of day over a 2 month period.
