Opening comment

I read the article but didn't get a full picture of the rules. What happens if you get a tie for the second time (if there's no bonus payout)? How do ties give house advantage? --80.222.116.225 21:35, 1 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree this article doesn't explain much. I'm utterly confused about the claim that this game has a LARGE house edge - at 2 or 3 percent hold it seems to be an incredibly high paying game for the player - far higher than Roulette for example. Surely the article is wrong here???--DreamsReign 04:47, 3 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The house edge in roulette is over 5%. In the case of a tie a bettor can put up another bet and go to war, or he can surrender. But even if the bettor wins after going to war, he only wins the amount of the original bet. For example, you bet $5 and get a tie. You put up another $5. If you win, you win $5, but if you lose, you lose $10. Hope that helps. Rray 07:35, 3 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"If the player's card is higher" - the article doesn't even state what counts as a higher card. For example, is an ace highest or lowest? This article needs work! 58.161.89.122 (talk) 03:52, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"If the player goes to war, the dealer burns (discards) three cards before dealing each of them an additional card." This is not always the case, in the casino i work at we do not burn any cards, we just go straight to the second card. Koala72 (talk) 01:05, 15 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
