How Stupid Are They ????

Yes...this sounds like European rules BJ....and it does give the house a stronger advantage.


I forget what the specific rules are...but if the dealer doesn't peak underneath and then the player splits his 8's or something then the player is running the risk of busting 2x before the dealer knows he has blackjack.
If the dealer had peaked first then the player can only lose 1 bet.
I think that is the logic behind it...but am not positive.
