WSP All-In Hold'em

#1

I know this is slightly off-topic, but since The Wizard
(http://wizardofodds.com) won't answer questions anymore, I figure that
you folks wouldn't mind.

Since this game (check the website for rules) allows players to raise
their bets up to 10 times, what is the recommended bankroll?
The "element of risk" is only .23%, but the "House Edge" is well over
1%. Does this make it a good game or not? How is the comping situation?
Do casinos mind if you use a strategy chart for this game?

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

The way I interpreted WoO's site is that the house edge on the initial
bet is 1%, but when you factor in the additional bets made according
to his strategy tables, the house edge drops to .23%, on the initial
bet plus the raises and all in bets. Apparently no one has played this
game because I asked the same questions about it that you did back on
5/21. If someone gets over to play it, please post your impressions. I
expect to be in Vegas at the end of the month, and I certainly intend
to get over to the B to try this game.

Thank you for your reply.
My interpretation of http://wizarofodds.com saying that the average bet
is 6.64 units is that a player should bring about 6 times the bankroll
that he would for a "flat bet" game such as roulette. But even with a
1.50% "standard" definition house edge, the game is fairly OK. Only
slightly higher than Baccarat and better than many forms of video
poker. If they had the game at my casino, I would give it a try!
