Default Re: Bad Beat Jackpot Question

[ QUOTE ]
Bad Beat Jackpot = -EV. I have not done the math but I don't see how this can possible be +EV. I play live low stakes where a buck is raked from each pot. There is no way there is a pos expectation from this rake (maybe if I was playing higher limits it would be). If it was +EV for the players the casino would not 'rake' it...I think it is just a way to generate action and increase players in the game. People follow the BBJ around town...i guess that would increase your EV...but it would still be negative.

when the jackpot reaches a certain amount, it is definitely +EV
