Absolute Blackjack , -EV or +EV?
 
Whats the EV for Absolute Poker Blackjack?
WR is 100X.
Dealer hits on soft 17s.
U can double on any two and after splitting (except AA)
U can split after a split (eg. 8-8-8)
U can surrender after 2 cards.
Dealer peeks for blackack, which makes doubling on 11 EV+

Any site with a calculator to do this math?

Ty.
Are you sure that the house edge is 0.55%?

Well, I have now finally finished their blacjack signup
bonus. Ended +$1100 ($750 bonus) betting $10 on dual hands.
Hope they'll have a reload next month.

I used the Wizard Of Odds calculator based on their house rules. They hit on Soft 17 which is undesirable but allow for late surrender. If you don't use the surrender option then their house edge is greater.

You can calculate EV and variance here:

Even though 100x wagering is +EV it has a really huge variance, I'd guess the risk of busting should be close to 30% with the strategy OP used.

I would take this bonus everday and sticky the hell out of absolute, if the bonus would be upfront! [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Bu i will never touch such a damm prewager bonus...

The blackjack signup has a 100x wagering req for $750

and the reload has only a 50x requirement for $240

Would it be worth it to do just the reload or both?
