Intercasino bonus

shabun · #1 11-06-2006, 11:01 AM

What has the better EV? JOB at 18x or BJ at 30x? I thought JOB had a HA about the same as BJ but another poster somewhere said the Intercasino HA was higher than the normal one for JOB.

Also, assuming flat bet of $5, which has the most variance?

Hope someone who is good at the sums can help.

the intercasino JoB is shortpay for quads and SF I believe. stick with BJ.

Why not go with Pontoon at 18x

I was thinking about pontoon at 18x but I heard that the variance is large, and I'm a bit of a pansy when it comes to variance.

The shortpay for the high hands explains why the HA on Intercasino for JOB is more than on other sites.

I also read another thread about playing is on the "Slot of the Month" or something like that. The poster said it has no HA and us used as a "loss leader", so I tried it on 9000 autoclicks at 20p to mimic the bonus and it ended up with a HA of 5% so the guy was bullshitting.

Looks like I will have to learn pontoon. I wish I wasn't such a wuss.

You are worried about pontoon variance but want to play VP and have played slots?

Yes because I normally play those at low stakes and increase the number of bets. I heard minimum bet at pontoon is $5 so that is more than I normally stake, so although the EV is good I am worried about busting out.

If you are worried about busting out you wont make very much playing bonuses and it will take absolutely forever to play them.

Suck it up and bet big & in 6 months time you will be much richer....

OK I surrender. Pontoon it is.

Isn't Pontoon 30x?

Nope, they had a brain fart and have Pontoon as one of the games eligible for the 18x WR.
