[QUOTE]Originally posted by smitty195: [QB] GBN: The Love Boat used to be my favorite show as a kid. I used to daydream about what it must be like to take a cruise. Back then, it seemed so grand and beautiful. I have seen real photos of the boat used for the TV show, and it is really small compared to what's out there on the seas today! As a side-note, that poor ship has gone to the scrapper last I heard. I have a friend who is a "boat foamer" and he send me pictures about a year ago. Those BJ rules on-board are crazy! If it's a push, the dealer wins?? That's nonsense! I'd love to see what that does to the house odds. It must push them up into the 3 or 4% win category, which means you'll rarely win. Now there are bizarro rules in Vegas, however, here's the deal: As long as you go to a Strip casino, and as long as you are playing at a table with a shoe (6 or 8 decks of cards), then it is normal BJ rules. Split, double-down any first two cards, split Aces up to 5 times, surrender, etc. But if you go to any Strip casino and play 1 deck or two deck, you are not going to have any fun, and you certainly won't make much money. Your "wins" turn into "pushes", and your blackjack win pays 6 to 5 instead of 3 to 2. They just started pulling this garbage too--I'd say in the last 3 or 4 years. When I first started going there in 2005, they did not have these stupid rules. I guess I should be thankful that I can still play "normal" BJ at a table with a shoe. [/QB][/QUOTE]
