Well it seems Bodog added a new game Jack Pot Pinatas.But there whole site as far as casino games go are still not paying hardly anything.Apparently they must be getting hard up for money

so until they start paying I'll just sit back and play as little as I can.Hope fully they will add the Whell of fourtune also and start paying out soon.Any Thoughts?

Yeah just found out Jackpot pinata is only available in the $ Casino and not �
Not sure why.
Payouts have been low since mid Dec
Not sure why.

Yes, it but always be the case, dealer had soft seventeen on the hand, I stuck on 15 and he took another card. Thats not so bad. I should be reading the rules, lol.

So he has to hit on soft seventeen.. that gives them a very slight more edge i would guess. (I'm not the BJ pro)

Pros? If the dealer has to hit on soft seventeen, can I increase my chances if I hit on soft seventeen? My gut says yes (depending on his up cards) but my brain doesn't know

Judging by the wizard's blackjack guide, you're supposed to hit A6 whenever you get it, no matter what the dealer's showing, and double on dealer's 3-6, assuming you're using 4+ decks.

And of course the HA goes up when the dealer hits on A6...

Dealer hits on soft 17 = -0.22%

But anyways, increased HA or not, I think that rule can save you almost as much as hurt you in the long run...
