    Bovada deposit bonuses

    How would you play these bonuses?

    1- 75% sports deposit bonus up to $750
    (Deposit 1k, they add 750. You then have to wager [1750×5] on sports games) *there is a boring, yet surefire way to earn a small profit here.*

    2- 125% casino deposit bonus up to $1250
    (Deposit 1k, they add 1250. You then have to wager [2250×25] in their casino. Games like video poker and blackjack sometimes only contribute at a ratio of $20:1, and craps cannot be used. Essentially it is 2250x25 on slots. Or 2250x25x20 on BJ.)
    May the Variance be with you.

    I would not play any of them.

    $56250 action at a 5% disadvantage is an expected loss of 2812.

    Is the BJ so bad that the house edge is 5%?

    I'd probably read the finer T&Cs first, but both of those seem playable if you can get your money paid out after.

    Yup. Bet both sides of the same game, give up the vig, which is less than $750. Not very interesting.

    Actually they offer a single deck game which has a house edge of less than 0.1% IIRC, but I was referring to online slots in my calculations. The blackjack isn't beatable with this bonus either, because you need to put in 20 x as much action and the ultra low house edge varieties don't count.

BJTF is an advantage player site based on the principles of comity. That is, civil and considerate behavior for the mutual benefit of all involved. The goal of advantage play is the legal extraction of funds from gaming establishments by gaining a mathematic advantage and developing the skills required to use that advantage. To maximize our success, it is important to understand that we are all on the same side. Personal conflicts simply get in the way of our goals.
