    Casino bonuses?

    Some bonuses will double your money with an 80x rollover requirement.

    Anyone put the math up to see if it's +/- E.V.?

    yes it's +EV depending on the game. just don't play games with 2.5% house edge and higher.

    this is provided the rollover is 80x deposit only. if it's 80x deposit+bonus then you need 1.25% and less.

    and of course if the bonus is on a separate bonus tab (5dimes, DSI) then of course it's +EV since you aren't risking anything.

    How do I know is it's 2.5% edge or higher? What about Bovada?
    Also, what strategy card is best when there's a rollover involved?

    you can look up house edge at wizardofodds, be sure to play perfect basic strategy though.

    as far as rollover, it depends on if you want to grind it out or go for a big score.

    What's perfect basic strategy? I've seen a lot of different links on different cards and they're mainly the same, but some are a little different for example some say to double w/9 against 2.... Or surrender 88 vs A.

    strategy for blackjack is determined by the number of decks and the rules. wizardofodds has a strategy generator. just type in the number of decks and the rules and it will spit out the strategy.
