Default Re: Casino Bonus Idea

Why not play one big BJ hand instead of the higher house edge red black/even odd roulette bet?

My thought on this tho: once you've cleared your bonus, you're making a -EV play. Would it not be better to calculate the risk of going busto that you're comfortable with, then progressively play BJ for higher amounts (and lower is running cold) *while* clearing the bonus to stay at that percentage? Seems the only time you have +EV is while there's something to clear...after that it's -EV. Only thing you're proposing is future gamling w/ "free money"...which once cleared is yours. Gambling with it at that point is just that...a gamble...and a -EV one.

Just my take. I understand the "might as well try for more cause it's free money" mindset, but that doesn't make it +EV.
