Re: Regarding Jek\'s/BW\'s break-even points for BBJ (long)
I'm not sure I agree.
The BBJ after a certain period is essentially a slight +EV situation with extreme variance. Assuming each dealt hand has a 1 in xxxxx chance of winning the jackpot, what limit you are playing at doesn't really matter.
I think the 'side bet' explanation is correct. Consider this... you are playing at your regular game with regular rake. A friend approaches you and proposes: every time you win a pot over $20, he will let you make a $0.50 bet that, EV-wise, makes a profit on a $100,000 grand prize. You take that bet every time he offers it to you.
That is exactly the situation the BBJ puts you in. It doesn't matter what limit.
