they took the bet, it's only fair that they honour the transaction and pay the man his winnings. if it was the other way 'round i bet they'd be going after the man.
I had a reasonable night's Blackjack ... but not brilliant.
I got the seat I prefer at the table (far left) and I was splitting and doubling successfully, and resisting the temptation to try to improve my hand when the Dealer was showing middle number cards ... but, needless to say, everything I won got spent at the Bar.
