If you have a 2% edge in a blackjack game, how many units should your bankroll be if u want a 5% risk of ruin? how about a 1% risk of ruin?

Also If you have a 3.5% edge in blackjack how many units should bankroll be for 5% risk of ruin? and 1% risk of ruin?

Variance in BJ is like 1.3.

0.02 / 1.3 = 1.53% that’s for full kelly or 13.5% ROR.

Half kelly is 1.8225% ROR, and your bet would be half of 1.53% of BR or 0.765%.

Thank you RS. Caveat, Unless the edge is at an ONLINE casino.

Is this at an online casino?

nope not online, the edge is actually playing as the banker, in a game with some rules that are not favorable such as 6:5 blackjack, no double down after splitting, and the players play bad too.
