Profitable game?

#1
I play BJ in a country far away from your own. It is 6 deck, with an estimated house advantage of 0.54%. The upside of this is that the minimums are US$3 and the max is US$700. I can spread to the maximums with impunity.

My question is this: Is this game profitable using the max spreads or do I need to Wong frquently?

Many thanks in advance

The difference between a $3 - $700 spread and wonging out of all negatives is not very significant. This is either a profitable game regardless, or it is not. In order to determine whether or not the game is profitable, you need to supply the rules and penetration. Initial House Edge is useful, but not sufficient since many rules have a different effect on counters than they do on Basic Strategy players. Surrender is one example.

Also, I am assuming that you do not care about ROR and are only asking about potential positive EV?

Do you know, what the meaning of wonging is? There are two meanings:a) to safe money when the count is negative. b)to cover your skills, because you play only the hands you like to, with a certain amount of money. So if it is to expensive for you, to play ALL the hands, because of the 3 dollars you mentioned, play from outside.

The house rules are as follows: DAS, S17, Double on 9-10-11, resplit up to four hands, resplit only once with aces.

Oh yeah, it's european NHC, and the house takes all the money when it wins, including doubles and splits. The house edge stated by the casino seems about right - what are your thoughts?

Hope this is enough info. Thanks
