Playing blackjack with fewer decks means that there are more odds in the player's favor. So if a single deck 6:5 Blackjack game is making the rounds, it attracts many players. However, not many are aware that instead of a 3:2 payout, the casinos will give the 6:5 payout. This means that if you bet $10 you will win $12 on a blackjack instead of winning $15. Apart from the 0.4 to 0.5% house edge, the casino will pick up an additional 1.39% edge from the accomplished blackjack player.

The trend of offering single deck 6:5 blackjack has started in the recent years. Most single deck games have 6:5 payouts now, which are disadvantageous to the blackjack player. A new player who is not all that familiar with the ways of the casino gets tricked into spending more money with almost no odds in his favor. So it is best to walk away from these types of blackjack game variations.
