Default Re: an angle shoot

IME if you say "Make it 15" and there is enough money in play that it could mean 1500 or 15,000, no one is calling without saying "15 what?". No dealer worth his or her salt will let "make it 15" stand unclear when it could be 1500 or 15,000.

An example of how this can get really messed up is the 1/3 game at the Wynn. Most people do not easily deal in multiples of 3 and as a result, you will get some people betting in terms of "number of $3 chips", like "make it 15 to go" meaning 15 chips, not $15. And this is dealt with well by most of the dealers there too, as they will question "do you mean chips or dollars?".

BTW that is not a bash on the Wynn 1/3 game, I love it, it is much easier to get someone to call "30 chips" instead of $90 dollars. [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]
