the base EV for 8/5 BP gives an EV of 99.945%, which is still negative
and gives an expected overall loss of ~$1800.

The 3,223,327 points earned also has some value...such as getting
$3,223 in travel with Prestige Travel Agency...which would push the EV
into positive territory.

Or if the winner is a big eater, the points earned translates into
$5,372.21 in food comps. :)
