I must be missing something about how this works. Any game is played at x% HA. How does bet size change this?

use the search feature. There have been countless threads about it. In short, betting bigger allows you to bust out more decreasing the amount of -EV wagers that you have to place.

Yes, we all seem to know this is true. Although no one actually seems able to prove that this is true.

But there's something in the 2+2 archives that proves that this is true. Although nobody actually seems able to produce this smoking gun.

But we all know it's true.

it's not that complicated.

Lets say you start off a bonus by betting your whole balance on a 50/50 game. You will bust out 50% of the time.

You do a 100/100/2000 bonus 10 times

Your total wagers if you never busted out would be 20000.

Your expected loss from BJ would be about $100 (20000*.005)

If you bust out half the time after betting your whole balance on a 50/50 game, your total wagers would be 11000 (5*2000)+(5*200)

Your expected losses from 11000 of blackjack is $55 (11000*.005).

You saved $45 in EV by betting larger and decreasing your total average WR
