HR: What is the EV in this strange BJ rules?

[HR]

I found an interesting game in Europe with the following rules 4D, no insurance,pen is 66%,and the player loses on every tie!!(even with BJ)It seems like a horrible game but there is RS=4,ES,BJpays 2/1,you have BJ even if you split A/A or 10/10,5 cards for the player are paid 3/2 and the most strange rule that you can redouble your bet up to 3 times(only the initial wager)e.g A3vs 6 you double and if you get a 2 you can double again.Do you think that this is a playable game?

Short answer: No. Ties occur approximately 9% of the time. All the rules you mention won't come close to making up for that 9% hurdle. Forget this game.

I am not expert for this game, look in google for a pontoon page. I knoe that there are pages with basic strategy and the off-the-top advantage/disadvantage. I am not as pessimist as Don, but cannot tell you more.
