If my calculations are correct, 100% bonus 100x rollover Blackjack will make you lose money, even with optimal play? (Hit S17, 6 decks, otherwise standard)

No I think it's +EV. The game is around -0.66%? So playing 100x your buyin loses you 66% of your buyin. So you are left with your 100% bonus and 1/3 of your initial buy-in as well.

The break-even point should be a game that is -1%. So don't try this at bac or craps.

As far as I know 100x rollover leads to 200x your buyin. the rollover applies to your buyin + bonus
