Party blackjack is attracting some sick gamblers
As the welcome screen at Party tells you this month, the top 21 BJ players in a 2 week period get to go on the PPM boat and play some BJ tournament (how do those even work?)
The promo started on the 9'th. Here's the leaderboard: http://www.partypoker.com/news/events/pp_wtleaders.html A 'home run' is just a $100 wager, so the top player has so far wagered 2.5 million dollars...in 5 days. Yeah. |

Re: Party blackjack is attracting some sick gamblers
Omgwtf. 2.5 MILLION. A daily average of slightly more than five thousand $100 bets. Jesus Christ.
Assuming the HA is 0.45% or so, he has taken around 12K in -EV. It would be interesting to know: 1. Whether he is up or down and how much. 2. Whether he is rich/not-so-rich/indepted. 3. Whether he plays poker and what games. |

Re: Party blackjack is attracting some sick gamblers
so is a homerun given for every $100 wagered or every $100 bet? ie are four $25 bets in four different hands construed as a homerun?

Re: Party blackjack is attracting some sick gamblers
The way I read it 4 $25 bets gets you nothing.
Actually looks like this promotion has some reasonable EV. If you wager 900 000 your expected loss is ~4K. The value of the cruise and tournament entry is $5800. Making this worth ~1800 if 9000 home runs will be enough to win. If you can play 400 hands an hour then your hourly rate would be ~$80/h. |

Re: Party blackjack is attracting some sick gamblers
i just read that page and it said for every $100 you wager you get a homerun. so that means if you wager $1k and double down, that's 20 homeruns right there.
25k homeruns is sick. |
