This is why we hate (and love) Elimination Blacjack on UB.

It;s a given - the house has an edge because you have to go first and risk busting. If real people where concerned about there chips it would be natural to expect that the betting would be low, but again and again and again, AI that doesn't have to worry about the chip stack gets the luxury of betting massively every single hand.

If it was for real and people were playing to win and not just mindless raising this table would have had something like 20k total chips out. It's not like you were dealt a pair of aces pref-flop in hold'em - you just raised to the max totally on the fly before ever seeing any cards dealt to you. It's the blackjack version of bingo.
