Is the Pontoon edge really just .1%!???

I'm BWing the interpoker bonus but i've only been losing money (well the withdrawl fee anyway, as I just give up when I lose the bonus amount. I never even come close the amount necessary to win the bonus. I usually bust out after wagering 4-500, far short of the 2200 needed. I always bet the minimum, so I don't think it's just a streak of bad luck. Is the house edge of pontoon in interpoker much higher, like 5 to 10% or something?

Yes I followed the wizardofodds optimal sheet exactly. Does interpoker detect that you're following those odds and purposes give you bad cards to kill off the bonus whoring?

sample size?

Massive swings are certainly possible, what's your buy-in by the way?

90, the interpoker bonus amount. It's been my results twice so far. About 75 hands each time.

friend, i am by no means a stat/prob wizard but i think the sample size is way too small.

Sample size is most likely off. Are you using correct strategy? Wizardofodds basic strategy for pontoon

If it helps any I've done the intercasino bonus 4 times and they went like this:

100 - bust
90 - bust
90 -> 309
90 -> 349

How do you have 1000 posts on 2+2 and not understand basic gambling theory....

How do you withdraw your original deposit if you have not met the wagering requirments and only lost the bonus?
