I'm staying longterm at a hotel in Asia which gives me about $50 in coupons per day as a promotion for going to their casino.

These coupons function as table chips that are different from standard chips in that if I win with them, I only get the winning value. For example, I win a $10 hand with standard chips, I now have $20 ($10 start + $10 win). With the promotional chips, if I win the chips are taken and I am given only $10.

If I bet a $10 chip on the Red bet on double zero roulette I have an EV of about $4.73. [b]Here is the interesting part,[b] if I bet the same $10 chip on any number, the EV is $9.46.

Not surprisingly, these chips are only allowed to be played on even-paying bets, with the exception of Blackjack.

I've wondered what my EV is in blackjack with these chips as compared with bacarat or roulette. I know it can be simulated, though it's a bit over my head at the moment and wondered if asking would be a reasonable thing to do here.

As a bonus, I've mastered basic strategy, and Wizard of Odds has the BJ game here at about 0.57% player disadvantage. I also can easily wong-in to the game when the count is high, and play that week's worth of coupons.
