People don't discuss things like variance and risk of ruin in BBV. They whip out their big hairy balls and slap people in the face with them.

[gay math not suitable for BBV]

standard deviation of blackjack = 1.2 (standard blackjack is 1.155, I'm assuming the SD is slightly higher because of the 2:1 BJ payoff)

SD 600 hands = 1.2*sqrt(600) = 29.4 units

Expectation = +10.3 units

So

65% chance of finishing between -19.1 units and +39.7
95% chance of finishing between -48.5 and +69.1
99.7% chance of finishing between -77.9 and +98.5

[/end gay math]

Just follow the dealer strategy. Hit on less than 16, and stand on 17 or higher. You won't be giving up too much.
