[ QUOTE ]
For many players, taxes also make it -EV, even if the casino is paying out a full 100% of the money taken for BBJ. If you pay taxes on every dollar you make in the casino anyway, this will be 0EV -- but if you only pay on a percentage (which I know none of the honest people here would ever do), then BBJ becomes -EV, since you will definitely be paying taxes when you hit.

[/ QUOTE ] This is like stating that robbing a bank is only -EV if you get caught, not relevant at all.
