Dealer busts! Eric A., Ethan, and Addy are all winners. Because he surrendered, Brennon loses half of his bet. Your updated chip totals are:

Brennon: $5750
Eric A.: $6350
Ethan: $5500
Addy: $5500

Any or all of you are free to stop now, or make another bet and continue to play.

Um, last round, I bet $750. And before that, I bet $600. Not $500. And, didn't Brennon bet $1,000 because of that double down in the first one? Wouldn't the totals be (if my understanding is right...

Brennon: $5,500
Eric A.: $7,100
Ethan: $5,500
Addy: $5,500

I'm confused... scratch

Co-Host Posts : 76 Join date : 2008-06-27 Age : 39

Yeah, but Brennon lost half of his bet due to surrendering the hand.

You bet $600 last hand and $750 this hand and won both. $5000 + $600 + $750 = $6350 Smile

Subject: Re: First Challenge - Blackjack! Tue Jul 08, 2008 1:32 am

Wow, I'm out of it. I'm much better at math than this. I'm too tired. Plus, I forgot it was half his bet. Sleep

Anyway, $750 again for me.

You should make a bet and see your cards before surrendering. Smile

No, she told me she's quitting the challenge.

Co-Host Posts : 76 Join date : 2008-06-27 Age : 39

Well, okay then. Addy's $5500 is safe, but the rest of you still need to reach $40,000 between all of you.

Interesting! Because of the dealer's ace, you may take insurance (pays 2 to 1) for half of your bet. If not, please make your actions.

Has Immunity Posts : 37 Join date : 2008-06-18

no isurance, ill split please

Co-Host Posts : 219 Join date : 2008-06-14

I'm confused, Steve...on the last hand of page 1, Brennon surrendered a 15, but yet on the next page he has a 11? Hrelp me out here

Co-Host Posts : 76 Join date : 2008-06-27 Age : 39

I'm not too fancy with this... I use the same deck and reshuffle it after each hand. Razz

Subject: Re: First Challenge - Blackjack! Thu Jul 10, 2008 12:13 pm

I think I'll surrender.

Co-Host Posts : 76 Join date : 2008-06-27 Age : 39

*the dealer looks at his down card, then looks back up and shakes his head*

No dealer blackjack, so let's continue

ill hit my soft 16, stay on 20

Co-Host Posts : 76 Join date : 2008-06-27 Age : 39

Brennon, you can't do anything after splitting aces. I apologize for forgetting that before, Johnny had to correct me.

Has Immunity Posts : 37 Join date : 2008-06-18

Thats fine. I just hope they win! lol

Houseguest Posts : 65 Join date : 2008-06-15

Co-Host Posts : 76 Join date : 2008-06-27 Age : 39

Ethan decides to hit again. Dealer, please give Ethan another card.

*dealer obliges*

Brennon - $5250
Bet: $500 / $500
Action: Split

First Challenge - Blackjack! - Page 2 Sa

Eric A. - $6350
Bet: $750
Action: Surrender

First Challenge - Blackjack! - Page 2 H8

Ethan - $5500
Bet: $1000
Action: Hit

First Challenge - Blackjack! - Page 2 C2

How lucky! Ethan has a 21! The dealer will now reveal his down card.

First Challenge - Blackjack! - Page 2 Da

That's a lucky break for our contestants, because table rules stipulate that the dealer must stand on all 17's. With his 21, Ethan wins the hand. Brennon wins one hand and loses the other, thus breaking even. Eric A. is the only one to lose money, as he surrendered his hand and thus loses half of his bet. Taking all of that into account, the new standings look like this:

Brennon: $6250
Eric A.: $6725
Ethan: $7500

Please make your next round of bets, and we shall continue.
