OK..question for the online casino BJ players

I see at the Greek where I bet it has a casino and they have " double exposure" BJ where you get to see both cards... It pays the same odds that i can tell from the regular hole card BJ... isnt that a CLEAR advantage to the player to see both cards of the dealer?? I mean if you have 18 and dealer has 20 you can hit to try for a 2 or 3?

There is a catch to it, I just don't know what it is.

At first glance, Double Exposure seems like any other Blackjack variant.
Something far from the truth! First off, both of the dealers cards are dealt face up giving the player an advantage over the house.
To even out this huge advantage, the Double Exposure Blackjack variant has some quite unique rules;

- All non BJ ties in the game are automatically dealer wins
- The game is played with 8 regular decks of cards which dramatically alter the odds of receiving cards.
These are just some of the unique rules that create a blackjack game which has similar odds to the original and all other Online Blackjack games.

Rules:
- Both Dealers Cards are dealt Face Up
- Played with 8 regular decks
- Dealer must hit on soft 17
- Dealer wins all ties except for tied BJ
- Player BJ pays even money
- Double down on 9, 10 and 11
- Double down after split
- Only one card to split Aces
- A split Ace and a 10 is 21 and not BJ

Ties lose is the biggie !

wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so its sorta of like blackjack switch.... where you have to WIN with 18 or better ties go to dealer

I don't know the rules to all the variants of BJ around, Dante.

I think Switch might be better.

I only try to play regular BJ and count cards.

This DE game would be huge +EV with normal rules, even if they only dealt one hand per deal.
