Party black jack expected loss per hand?

[ski]

Assume you don't even try to count cards and bet $100 per hand. How much does this cost?

The house edge is 0.5596% when you play optimal strategy (the table on the right). This means you'll lose 56c per hand if you bet $100 each time, however you can lose $5+ per hand if you don't play optimal strategy.

Wizard of odds has a good calculator for the various versions of blackjack.
