That WinCards offer is not a rip-off - it's a good offer
I don't get it. A bet that's only a match bet is only a 50-50 proposition if
you're betting an even-money game. So why is $15 for ten a good deal? It's
not a real chip that you can cash.

Yes, but the difference is that, if the casino is doing it correctly, you can keep playing a chip until you lose it.
(Commercial plug ahead - but then the reason I wrote this book was to help people with a lot of details like this. Lots of experienced gamblers, even pro's, use it as a reference book, even if they already know and use most of the information in it.) In More Frugal Gambling I discuss WinCards at length beginning on page 206.
