Splitting 10's against Dealer 2's-6's.

Kind of getting impatient and splitting 10's as far as I can against Dealer 2's through 6's.
This hand came out to be a push all around, with the Dealer having a 6 in the hole and drawing an Ace for a 20.
I have no idea how bad the HA is with this strategy or if it increases the variance in numbers I can understand.
This particular session has gone from last bet to buy-in amount ($5K) but I've been getting very few chances to split 10's under these conditions; and when I do it doesn't necessarily go well at all.

If you like splitting tens, you should try Bingo Blackjack. I have split tens to four hands at least a dozen times. I even hit the target twice on this hand, but lost money when the dealer made a 20.
In Bingo Blackjack, when you split to four hands and cannot split again, the correct strategy with a high multiplier and target of 21 is to double down a hard 20 against any dealer up card.

I've never heard of Bingo Blackjack before. It looks like an exclusive to Draft Kings offering. I got a screenshot of a Bingo Win. This game makes you stand on sub-17 hands if the Bingo ball is sub-17 and you already have a match, but you don't win if the Dealer beats you and doesn't bust. With the minimum multiplier at 2X, maybe it's +EV to stand on 12-16 anyway. There's a Jackpot amount in the 6 figures and I don't know what triggers a win for that. I'll have to read some rules somewhere for that. It looks like 20 cents of each hand went to the Bingo ball bet. I don't know if raising the bet above $1 would have raised the Bingo ball bet such that the Bingo ball bet would be 20% on top of the regular bet no matter your regular bet.
I'm not about to sign up for Draft Kings so I won't be playing this, although my local casino is all about Draft Kings. I don't know enough about Draft Kings and they'd only do sports betting in my state at this time.

I'm playing the free "play money game" and enjoying it. I got a BJ on a 2X Bingo ball against a Dealer Ace. I declined insurance and got paid $135 including my bet (2X my bet + my bet $45) instead of $180 (2X my win of $67.50 + my bet $45). I've already lost one $500 session.
I've been losing and pushing on most Bingo balls and that 20% vig has been adding up and it can be ruinous. I finally had a lucky break and hit a 10X on a $60 bet and that put me to $660 over the balance showing or $2,428.50. Unfortunately I hit the X instead of the full screen thingy after my screenshot and ended my game. I'm making obvious bad errors trying to learn how to take advantage of the Bingo ball multipliers, I haven't looked at the strategy sheets they have yet. Like if the Bingo ball is 17+ and the Dealer has 6 or less and I have 6 or less, I'll hit. If I have 9 and the Bingo ball is 19, I'll double down hoping for a 10. If the Dealer has a 2-6 and I get a pair of 10's, I'll split 10's as far as I can to try to match the Bingo ball if I haven't already.
Since this game has a $1.20 minimum, I'd treat it like a $3.60 minimum and start out with $120 sessions for real money with my limited budget even with $2,000 to start with. That'd be 16 sessions to start with, I can't lose them all, right? On the VBJ game at the casino, they have a $5 minimum and I'm trying to work up to $200 session buy-ins. I'm at quite a disadvantage right now.
Just got my first hand pay if I was playing for real money, on a $60 bet.

Yes, there is a mandatory 20% fee on top of the initial bet that pays for the bingo multipliers. So if you bet $50+10 and the BJ hand is a push, then you actually lost $10 on the hand.
Thanks for the video link. The player makes some very significant strategy errors in the video.
Bingo Blackjack is also available at some online casinos affiliated with DK along with some other DK exclusive games like Digits.
The jackpot shown at the top is a casino-wide jackpot. You have to pay up to be eligible to win.

After 400 hands of $25 bets with a $5 vig on the Bingo bet that's a total of $2,000 on Bingo bets. I'm pretty sure I'm losing 95% or more of the Bingo matches much less the Bingo bets. Only the longshot Bingo bet wins count and if they don't show up, there's no coming back. This is kind of like betting $25 + $5 on the Blazing 7's at the casino, maybe worse. Just a steady drain that turns into a 6 figure hole before you've played too long.
