Title: Blackjack v Roulette Post by: mjrevie on July 31, 2007, 04:49:42 PM Probably not right place but here goes
Your given 100£ free bet. You are allowed to play Roulette or Blackjack, you have to put the £100 on a single bet. After, you get the profit or win nothing. Which would people go for? Title: Re: Blackjack v Roulette Post by: Longy on July 31, 2007, 05:13:20 PM Blackjack obv the house edge is smaller and therefore my equity is much higher playing blackjack.

However, if you have the skill and opportunity to 'Wong it' then you can make a bet with positive expectation on blackjack.

Title: Re: Blackjack v Roulette Post by: TightEnd on July 31, 2007, 06:41:09 PM ok gotcha
Title: Re: Blackjack v Roulette Post by: Compo on July 31, 2007, 06:58:16 PM As the bet is free then the right thing to do is put it on the biggest possible return as the negative aspect is zero. You aren't taking a long term view just a one off proposition, so value becomes relative ie: the best value is the biggest return. i suggest number 18 although there is no hard and fast rule as to which number to choose.
