The house advantage is only .13 percent vs. most BJ games where it is around .48 or more. That alone makes it a more +EV game compared to BJ. Also, I could be mistaken, but I believe variance is lower as well.

First off, Pontoon is .17% HA, but that's not important, close enough. However, you are DEFINITELY mistaken about the variance. Variance is MANY times greater in Pontoon than BJ, it isn't even close.

Ehh, the SD of Pontoon is 1.44 and the SD of BJ is 1.15. Only about 30% higher.
