Default Harrods offer single deck and BJ pays 3 to 2!

Only problem is the min bet is £10. Hmm...

who is "harrods"?

why is that min bet a "problem"?

what are the result of the rules wrt hitting on soft 17, splitting, resplitting, doubling, etc??

single deck can often be EV+ off the top with decent rules.


what's the max bet?

No online casinoe can afford to have a game with a negative house edge.

...right?

No, there's at least a couple that do, at least if you take comps into account. But the player's edge is tiny - hundredths of a percent - and it'd require perfect play over thousands of hands to realize it.

According to WoO this is about 0.037484% HE
It's still not a negative HA.

The reason I said £10 was a problem was I deposisted £50 to get a £50 bonus. I think the variance would be too high even with such a low HA when playing %10 of your session BR on a single hand.

I might do the calculations...

Intercasino's single-deck has a .07 HA. If you add in composition-dependant strategy changes (.03) and comps (.05), it's +EV. (Barely)

Yup
Bonus requires 20x D+P
So...
average loss per session is about £0.0075

Standard deviation (68% of the time) = +/- 78

Standard devation (95% of the time)= +/- £155.56

Too volatile with that bankroll. If they offered a bigger maximum deposit bonus then I'd do it.

Ever Hear of Stickying a cashable bonus? I would be doing 10/hand on this bonus whether or not it was the min bet.

3. The bonus may be cashed out only after you wager a total of 20 times the bonus amount received.

That might help a bit.

Also, are they accepting US players? The review on WoO says they are not.
