So in North Dakota, a lot of bars offer blackjack under the charity gaming laws our state provides. A few of the tables offer a $1 minimum and $25-$50 max. Usually I just do a 1:5 unit spread at the tables and I haven't put much time in at the bars yet. Any idea what I can expect to make an hour betting 1:25 or 1:50?
Bet Spread at the Bars

This is not correct. If you never placed a bet except at TC +1 or better and you always bet $50 (1 spot only) and you were getting 5.5/6 pen, you'd still only make about $25/hr. With 4.5/6 pen and any kind of reasonable betting ramp, you're closer to $10/hr, again with 1 spot only. You could do better if you can spread to multiple hands.
Sorry - I had $5 as the unit, not $1. Still, the 'play all' result is ~$20/hr. according to CVData. Wonging would yield an even better result. When it comes to ramps, spreading from the min to the max as soon as the player gets an advantage will yield the highest win rate, obv. (though the RoR will suck figs):
6d,H17,DAS,RA,NS - 75% pen., $1 unit (your pen. of 5.5 would yield an even stronger result):
Best ~ LIA
P.S. Play all with .5/deck pen = ~$35/hr,
(Changed the max bet to >=+1 for both sims)

I think this is right:
Betting $1 at TC<=0 accounts for a little over $5/hour in losses, so wonging out would increase the win rate ~25%.
Not a ton of actual dollars in this game, but stresses the importance of wonging, when possible. As has been said many times, anyone trying to significantly increase their win rate should be wonging.

WTF?? I posted a couple of hours ago and it's gone. I'm not gonna type it all out again, but $20/hr is not right if you're playing 1 spot. I forget the number but it was right around $13/hr for $1 at 0 or lower, $50 at +1 or higher, using HiLo, full indices, 6D H17 DAS RSA, 75% pen, play all. I don't have a place to host the screenshot, but if you want to PM me an email address, I can email you the image so you can post it. Important to note that I don't recommend playing it this way, I'm just trying to make the point that even spreading 1-50 with nothing in between, this game is still not worth much. I think the BR required for this kind of play was $10500 for a 5% RoR.
I'd have a really hard time ethically doing any AP maneuvers against a good charity. If instead of needy children getting money I was getting some of that money, I wouldn't play this game, no matter how good it is. I'm not judging or criticizing anybody else for playing it, because we are all taking money from somewhere when we do AP, but that's just me personally.
