would it be possible to change the starting card for high-low? I say this after 8 straight hands starting with 7, 8, or 9, the 3 most undesirable cards in the deck. No I don't mean half-way through a hand changing. I'm speaking only at the beginning
I don't know about selecting a card for starters, I'd always pick a 2 or ace.
not select a card, change cards, I mean, if you've got a 8 or 9 or something, change to the next card in the deck
it would deffinetly make high- low more interesting, and perhaps also a bit more playable as i think people can give up really easy when you get rubbish cards
ahh, wimps. You're betting 500000 points (for premiums) and high low is a relatively easy game! Either select the option to quit and play again like me, or play the card. 'tis not that big a deal
On the game show Cardsharks, where the high low concept comes from, there was always the option to change your first card. after that, you either play what you're delt or quit and play again.
Yes, on the first hand, you can quit, but you'll lose whatever amount you bet. On the firsthand you can't just click on "quit and play again." It doesn't give you that option on the first hand, and I think this is what Garret is referring to. I'm sure he knows perfectly well, that if it were another hand, he could just quit and play again, but obviously, he can't do that on the first hand. However, I do agree with Blbobby when he says he wishes that we didn't lose whenever there is a tie. I cant' stand that! Why should we lose when it's a tie? I agree that the ties should be the same way as they are in blackjack.
Yeah I agree with Leann, why should we lose when there is a tie. I don't know if I agree so much with garret, but at least get rid of the tie.
leann and john L, thank you, finally someone understands the point of the board. And another cardsharks fan! love that show!
I understand the point you are making Garret, but really, I do have occasional losing streaks with hi-lo, but they always pass, and overall it is the easiest way to get points on the zone. I have racked up millions of points playing and don't get that upset with the occasional bad first draw.
yeah neither do I, Becky. It's fine the way it is acept for teh tie.
I'd rather be able to redraw first draws, than lose ties, personally
Yep, there probably should be a quit and play again on the first hand. But most things in life don't work like that! So I guess I'll just keep on playing anyway!
Given the choice between not losing on ties or being able to redraw the first card, I... don't know. There's a semi-decent chance, sorta, that you'll draw a second horrible card. I'd like both, but I think I'd actually prefer not to lose on a tie.
I think on the first hand you can opt out of the game altogether, go to main menu or something, and save your points. But, that's a hassle. Sometimes I wonder how random the draws are: it seems like there are periods of time when you get nothing but sevens, eights, or nines. But, that may just be "sore loser" syndrome.
I don't think you can do that, Bob. Once you make a bet, that's it. If you decide to leave, I think it still takes those points awayfrom you. If I were to choose between drawing a second card on the first hand, or having the tie situation changed, I'd definitely go for changing the outcome of a tie. This aggravates me to no end! I can deal with getting a bad card now and then, but the way the ties are dealt with, just annoys me.
I'll have to check that out. If it does take your points first, then that's pretty crappy. But, I, too, hate the ties more. Why should black jack treat them one way and hi-lo treat them differently? I'd yell for consistency, but the admins would probably change the way black jack treats a tie.
because in the actual game, for example on cardsharks, you lose with a tie, it's always been that way, no need to change that. So that gives yet another reason to be more flexible. Make the first card changable, trust me, it's a good move
Even if the game Cardsharks does that, isn't that reason for the admins to change the tie situation? I mean, they're supposed to make these games different from the original. they can't be the exact same, so, therefore, why not change the outcome of a tie! I do agree with Bob, though, If we keep bringing this up, more than likely the admins will just change the rules of blackjack rather than high low. lol
hell, i like the blackjack rules, I almost always lose! lol
Now that I think of it, just give us billions of points and skip the games. <lol>
nah, cause they eventually want the points to mean something
Hey, could we hear something from the admins?
Is this even possible, and, if it is, qwhy not change it.
I've been on here for two years now, and they've been saying the points will eventually mean something, but it hasn't happened yet.
LOL Bob and Becky. I agree. Where in the world are the admins amongst all this discussion? I always wondered if the points were ever going to mean anything. I heard that eventually they would, but like Becky mentioned, I haven't seen or heard anything else. ah well, I still love playing the games, and hope that they will be able to come up with some more, because these ones can get a little boring after a while. And, Garret, yeah, I usually lose in blackjack too. So, when ever I'm done, I go over to high low and get my points back. lolol
I go to hangman because it doesn't take points, it just adds them. It's a real slow payoff though. If you're really good you can get 25 points for being the fastest at guessing a word. Otherwise you get five points.
Leanne, I do the exact same thing - lose at blackjack and then get the points back at hi-lo. LOL
Hahahaha, yeah, it's an easy way to get them back.
I'll look into this. I glanced at the Hi Lo code (JJ originally wrote that), and I think it'll take large quantities of alcohol before it starts making sense to me.
Well, then start drinking.
lmfaolmfao chris!
Thanks Chris, thank goodness this is a long weekend so you can have it ready Tuesday morning, but the hang over should be a real pisser.
Bob
Hahahaha, aw, how sweet! What the admins will do for us!
on the newer card sharks you don't lose when it's a tie
