Hi syntax259,
For the calculation of house edge (HE), penetration is not taken into account because it would introduce an effect from the cut card (CCE).
It's usually calculated off the top. For...
If it will help end this martingale thread, which belongs on the voodoo pages, I once lost 20 hands in a row. Others here will probably raise their hands, as well. Let's move on, shall we? It is NOT...
Dear Cacarulo,
I tried to analyze the game and would like to compare some numbers with you. You asked specifically for the HE when ignoring the DU option.
With following rules: 6D, 1.0pen, H17,...

And, Mr. E., if I may add:
You likely have seen the term "variance." Variance is related to standard deviation in that it is the standard deviation X standard deviation, or (standard deviation)²....
You have a very good instinctive feel for these things. That's very impressive. I have to look these things up in data samples.
What you are referring to is the "favourite-longshot bias" and there...
yes
it's my belief that many times (but not every time) a bet is shaded by the books so that the player betting for the big payout gets a bad deal and the player willing to bet to win a small...
Hi Don,
The indices should be used in the same conditions where they were created. To say that the index is +6 when 8 aces have been seen, a simulation was done before,
checking all penetration...
To return to your actual point, this is true. It is simply a mathematical fact. If the payout exceeds the true odds then you have a good bet.
This may or may not be the case with the bet he...
