tournies are good for cover
Don't some professional writers even go so far as to say that tournies are EV positive if you learn how to bet correctly?
I've never played in a blackjack tourney, but if the entrants are as piss-poor as entrants for the daily poker tourneys, it's all but guaranteed you have a decent shot of winning, and the only question is whether you can beat the rake.
