Ye Gods, if you applied that to yourself, we couldn't trust a word you say, given the math difficulties.
The idea that casinos would advertise return rates to make more money is also very weird. Hell, Bally's did the precise opposite a few years back, trumpeting "6/5 Return on Blackjack" up on their big sign. They actually advertised that they were offering worse return -- which shows you the disdain they have the intelligence of their players. It also shows what kind of players they want.
So where this thread went is a mystery. Why it went in this direction is also a mystery.
