Bob,

I was referring to bets placed by the player. Not
with common call bets or bets placed by the
croupier. What you explained is done in most
houses...though there are certain floating casinos
off Florida's beach that will not accept any play
other than player placed bets. I can tell you
really enjoy the game, and I know how comforting it
is when there are real pros on the other side of the
table. Something really not found on the majority
of Florida's boats any longer. At one time when
Atlantic Maritime was running many of the games
(1980s) down here, 90% of all the casino staff were
schooled in the UK. Today, those days are
gone....very little professionalism exists... with
the exception of the Palm Beach Princess where a
blind man would feel comfortable playing.
