Omni Monthly Bonus EV Question

OnePatheticLoser · #1 09-09-2006, 04:43 PM

Omni has a 100 dollar bonus each month that is recieved after you have wagered 4k. Black Jack and Pontoon only clear at half the rate, and so I figured Jacks or Better Video Card Poker was the next lowest HA game. The Jacks or Better payscale is 4/6/9. Does anyone reccomend this bonus? It's 80 in EV but I figure the variance is fairly high so I dont know if it is worth it. Any advice would be greatly appreciated

EV is like $90 with pontoon+comps. Sick variance though.

You don't need to have done it to know that VP has crazy variance. A lot of your value comes from huge hits like royals, so most of the time you're going to be getting pounded unmerciful.

Omni does offer 10 line, how bad is the variance with this? worth the risk for 80 bucks after 4000 WR?

The HA for crypto pontoon is only .17%, so you should do that. The variance in Pontoon is only 1.44 SD compared to 4.42 for JoB. Stick with Pontoon or BJ. I think Pontoon requires a min bet of $5, so if you're roll is small and can't afford to bust, do BJ.

Pontoon and Black Jack only clear at half the rate. Is pontoon still the best way to go?

With a tiny HA of .17%? Yes. On an 8k wr, the EV is $86. JoB EV is $82. And JoB has wild variance.

You should probably just deposit more and finish the WR
