When I play blackjack it's for a basic bet of $10 or $20. That way even after a few splits and double downs I'm not "betting the house". Couldn't you find a way to still enjoy gambling w/o betting thousands of dollars on a hand?

So I guess it depends on how much $HOUSE_MAX was. Around here the Indian casinos are atwitter at $100 bets. In Vegas I could be playing with a bunch of $10 players and nobody bats an eye if someone walks by and, in the middle of a deck, bets $1000 on a single hand, and then goes on his way.
