I'm not sure what you're responding to Sponger, but Boss Media does indeed offer BJ with a player edge:

and with the correct cashback system, switch is +ev.

Any BJ geniuses know what your bankroll has to be with this edge? How big can you bet? and what is my earn/hr if I am betting the max?

Your are testing my horrible memory but I'll give it a shot.

As I recall Stratosphere had a game with a player edge. Split and re-split, double after split, hit aces after split, early surrender and dealer stands on soft 17. Early surrender was what put it over the top. Anyway, I think the player edge was .25. On the faster sites I can play 5 or 600 hands per hour so calculate accordingly.

Blackjack bankroll requirement recommendations have always been far higher than poker- maybe something like $10,000 if you were going to spread your bets between $5 and $40. In this case, however, you likely won't be getting the deck penetration that you would in a casino. Then again, counting won't apply here. You would just be flatbetting and hoping the numbers bear out accordingly.

Once again, sorry if I'm mistaken about any of this. It's been six or seven years since my Blackjack knowledge was fresh. I am sure of one thing, though. If you have any aversion to variance BJ is far more cruel than poker.
