BetFred Casino Bonus Question

[Sciolist]

I am dumb.

I am going by a list of casino bonusses, working through them one by one. It includes BetFred as a blackjack bonus. I do the bonus (£3k playthrough), wonder why I don't have the funds credited yet, check the T&C and find that blackjack is no longer counted towards playthrough.

Has anyone done the BetFred bonus by another game? What's worthwhile, and is there a strategy sheet for it? For what it's worth, I was still +£50 during this playthrough. I run good.

3 Card poker is +EV you will lose approx £62 when you wager £3000.. Strat is simple for it aswell, anytime you have Q74 or better raise otherwise fold. Variance is quite high in 3 card poker, so i wouldnt be that surprised if you busted or cashed out £600+

Don't play the bonus bet as it has a higher house edge.

Thanks, I will have a go, never played it before. I don't much care if it's high variance, as I'm a luckbox.

Do you happen to know what 3 card poker is listed under?

I thought the bonus had a lower house edge... when I was playing it to clear, I just bet the bonus.

You are correct, the bonus has a lower house edge but i believe a higher variance.

The normal game has a 3.37% house edge but because you are able to fold bad hands this means the element of risk is 2.01% so you will lose less compared to the pair plus bonus bet.
