if your on a roll they win more
Dealers don't really care since the money is pooled.
In 21, they should want you to bet for them for an obvious reason. If the player gets a double down or split, most put up another unit for the dealer.
So the dealer actually has the edge over the house in that a $5 tip bet made is worth MORE than $5 over the long run, since the player has to put up another $5 some of thetime.
When a blackjack dealer says she would rather have the sure $5, I immediately think "what an idiot". She is lowering the tip expectation, while simultaneously basically saying she thinks the player is going to lose.
