Risk of ruin and bankroll size.

If you had a $1000 bankroll, think it would be a good idea to play with $500 bet size to clear a BJ bonus?

Same can be said for poker. Would you put your entire bankroll on 88 vs your opponent's AK? It is +$EV...

I totally agree... Even with a much larger edge it wouldn't be a good idea.

If possible, I'd make the following prop bet with someone (who wasn't my friend):

We'll flip a coin and I pay you 2:1 on the flips, you start with $10 I start with $1,000,000, the first flip is for $10 and we play double or nothing every time until one of us is out of cash. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

However, when it actually comes to clearing these blackjack bonuses, I'm pretty confused...

Like, what is the bankroll that you guys are using?

No one asked this guy what his bankroll was, they only gave him advice on what do to to avoid ruin for THIS BONUS, which isn't really connected to anything.

i.e. if you play 10,000 bonuses out, it shouldn't really matter if you bust on this bonus or not, because there's always next bonus, right?
