I don't think so. The figure I use in my calculator (explained in the article) is 0.75% for 3:2 games; the source (cited) was the Wizard of Odds, who in turn cited an executive at a major strip...

This place is a sweatshop. While they are wasting time looking for counters making...
I've never played for comps, so I googled casino comp rates and came up with your calculator.
I thought I've seen skill level plays a role in your rating for theoretical loss in other...
You like introducing new terminologies. I still haven’t found the exact meaning of Accurate Zen/vanilla Zen. However, regarding the exact TC value for the hit/stand decision of the 16v.10 hand, I...
A push is a win, right? :nevreness:
They should do something similar with movies. Some years, there are no good movies and other years there are several. I started watching the recent, big Oscar...
This Mortal Lock deal from Barstool Sports sounds like a solid bet, but you better double-check some numbers to see if it's worth your time. The odds on this game of three NFL games are pretty good,...
Don,
How about using the baseball Hall of Fame method you mentioned with the addition that the candidate with the most votes is enshrined even if the total is below the 75% threshold?
Of...
stefan,
Here is a link to the EV table from the Wizard of Odds for an 8D, S17 game:

Hope this helps!

I have seen the pictures of the snow dumping the folks got out west. All I can say is it's pretty much unbelievable. Pictures of almost 5 feet of snow on folks roofs, and the sad part is these folks...
If players don't know the distribution of 8, 9 and ace so far, Accurate Zen level 1 (vanilla Zen) has this index at +0.3 according to my simulation. So people who use +0 to play this hand will be...
Firstly, I don't know how to calculate the exact value for the TC hit/stand decision, but I roughly recall some literature says it is a positive number around zero. Secondly, I simulated this 16v.10...
Will be suggesting a Baseball Hall of Fame-type voting process to Max, whereby you're allowed to vote for x number of candidates from a slate and then all who receive a specified percentage of the...
It’s obvious that there isn’t very much probability for TC<=-3, so your cost of wrongfully playing this 16v.10 hand is still about $2.65 per hour. What is more important is the hit/stand critical TC...
Well, if you are counting using a system like Hi-Lo, you should simply run two simulations, one with the 16vT index set to 0 and the other with the 16vT index set to -2. Then you compare both SCOREs...
Correct. Is there an easy way to get a rough estimate? It seems always standing is a little too costly for cover given the frequency of the hand. But, it also seems to be one of the major things they...
Hey there, I totally agree with you on this one. Kat is definitely deserving of being considered for the HoF, and I'm glad to see that others in this thread feel the same way. While I understand the...
Yes, I misunderstood. Sorry. I actually hesitated when reading, to see that I wasn't doing it backwards and then worded my answer incorrectly anyway. :concern:
