0.995 ^ 500 = .08 .... so after 500 hands you're expected to have only about 8% of your money left.

That's 8% of your bet sizez. If you're betting $200 in chips ever deal and play 500 hands, in theory you should net -$184.

At a 0.5% disadvantage, if he plays 500 hands, he "should" be down (500)(.005) = 2.5 bets. No exponents necessary.
