Re: BJ - Splitting 8\'s.

I suggest instead to buy his bet for $50, then you front your own $100 to split. You expect to get back $15 on the $100 you invest and $65 on his $100 (which cost you $50).

This is clever, because it's like giving him a surrender option he wouldn't otherwise have. Kind of a "cutthroat" way of helping him out, but if he realizes it's +EV for him, he'll take it.
