Default Party Blackjack - kickass Promo

http://www.partycasino.com/news/prom...artyhours.html

Party is paying 2:1 on blackjack for the next 3 days (possibly 6, there's conflicting info on their site) between 6:00 and 7:00 PM EST. This adds 2.27% of player advantage to the -.55% of their basic game, making a 1.72% player advantage game. Assuming 600 hands an hour, your expectation is just over 10 units for the hour.

Why am I posting this here instead of Internet Bonuses? Because that forum is full of risk-averse pussies. BBV is where the real gamblers hang out.

So who here has the balls to bet $200/hand for an hour in a grossly +EV situation?

"If the dealer also has Blackjack you will not win and you will only be returned your Stake."

isn't this a big deal in the other direction?

I'm pretty sure PPBJ is like 70/30 for the house, not the 50.5/49.5 you claim. I have 200k hands to support this.

I'm not sure what your question is. It's always a push when you have BJ vs a dealer BJ.
