Actually, the reason why casinos don't allow the simultaneous red-black bet is to limit gambler access to a low-volatility way to wash promo chips and coupons. It's not a house advantage issue (I've been to casinos where they do allow it!). The only reason why the numbers in your "strategy" slant positive is that you're counting the match play if you win but not if you lose.
As a side note, I noticed in your comments you complained that the win/loss should not reflect tips for the dealer. That is wrong. A played tip for the dealer is a win for you; you are playing that tip, not the dealer. So pay your taxes right - and if you don't, just know that defense won't work if you get audited by the IRS.

He says they are going to comp it and the money should go back on my card in a week or two but we used my card for the reservation under his name. Any one have any insight whether this is correct or is he full of it? His table time was probably over 12 hours in 2 days and average hand was around 400 or higher. He lost over 14k so I don't see why they wouldn't comp it but he is not the most trust worthy guy and I don't want to get stuck footing the whole bill.
It's always possible for hosts to comp and reverse CC charges, but it's obviously more complicated when the person charged isn't the person getting comped and it's a third party (not the hotel) that did the charges. So no, he's not necessarily "full of it", but that doesn't mean this situation will get resolved favorably for you.
