why is 6:5 blackjack payout still a thing at some casinos

I see your point about people overlooking the edge but there's another layer. A lot of folks treat bonus chips or match promos like play money and blow them on whatever table's open, even if it's a 6,5. The freebie mindset overrides payout math fast. If you're optimizing, I’d walk the floor for five minutes and actually ask the dealer about surrender or game variants like blackjack switch. That habit signals you're not just burning through a promo and sometimes they'll mention table rules you’d miss. In crypto casinos this matters even more where small rule tweaks shift the edge quietly.
