It depends on how you play. If you play one hand you will have an edge. If tou play more hands you will not.

This clearly does not make sense. Each event is independent..either it is +EV or not.

It clearly DOES make sense. You do not get the rebate on each individual bet...you get it on the net result during the period in question.

Scenario 1 -- 1 $200 bet -- EV is about +$6.00
Scenario 2 -- 2 $100 bets -- EV is about +$1.20
Scenario 3 -- 4 $50 bets -- EV is about -$.05

In all 3 cases, I have placed the same total bet -- $200. But the EV decreases as I break things into more bets of a smaller amount.

The loss rebate is only on the net loss at the end of the session. With just one bet, you have a reasonable chance of ending up with a net winning session. With many bets, you have very little chance of a net winning session.

If you are unlikely to have a net winning session, you will not have a +EV situation on a loss rebate. So for one bet, it is +EV...but for many bets, it is -EV.
