    Default Which signup bonuses mathematically profitable?

    Everyone seem to profit at Starluck and Planetluck so it seems that they are +EV to play at.

    Has anyone worked how much +EV the casinos are if you optimum strategy?

    Are any of these bonuses -EV?

    Thanks

    BJ is only -0.5% or something. So if you're betting $2 you expect to loose 1c.

    If the bonus takes 1000 hands to clear $100, then you are making 10c per hand. Your expectation is now +9c per hand. I don't know the actual numbers, but it should be easy to figure out. It's extremely unlikely a bonus would be -eV.

    The bigger concern is chance of going busto because of variance. I meant to do the calculations one day but got lazy. A $2 bet from a $100 roll has a pretty small chance I believe.

    Exactly, or you will not see the casino section. Only members see it.
