I’ve run into an interesting scenario at a casino offering 10% cashback on lost bets. Here’s the setup: if I bet $100 and lose the hand, I get $10 back. Pushes just roll into the next hand until it’s either a win or a loss.
Now, I’m wondering—could this actually result in a profit if I’m playing blackjack using basic strategy? On the surface, it seems like the cashback could offset losses enough to tip the scales, but the math behind it is giving me trouble.
Does anyone have insights into whether this cashback changes the expected value enough to swing things in my favor over time? Or is the house edge still too strong for it to matter? Would love to hear your thoughts or see the numbers broken down if anyone’s up for the challenge!
Thanks in advance—curiosity has me hooked on this one.
