When it comes to computing EV's for each possible decision in blackjack, it's quite trivial. Standing and surrender simply relies on dealer conditional probabilities. Doubling and hitting are more or...
I was thinking about possibly trying out a database participant casino from current blackjack news. Obviously I won't play rated and won't shot my id. Is there anything else in particular I should...
The moment you’ve all been waiting for: ranked UBZII indices, a la THLCCS. These are what I get ranking them by CE gain. (No representative decks.) For those who are interested . . . .
6 decks h17 LS allowed. I've read Don's book and it suggested <-2 surrender and -5 stand.
I understand that the surrender at -2 or lower takes precedent, however if surrender is not allowed at TC...
Hi everyone, I’m new to the forum. Been trying to get more serious about blackjack and I’m hoping to become an AP (or something close to it haha). I’ve been looking for good tools to simulate...
I'm currently following through on my promise to add the indices from THLCCS as a strategy in CVData/CVCX. In doing this I've run across a few situations for which I can't figure out how to add an...
I'm sure 21forme will be interested in this as he likes to travel.

Assuming standard rules—6 decks, dealer H17, das, and ls how are strategy deviations mathematically calculated? I noticed that BJA lists the index for 13 vs. 3 under H17 as +2, while Don...
I have always been curious about the EV of doubling down on a soft 21 after having split tens against a 4, 5 or 6. To be honest, I have done it on occasion. Maybe I am being a little greedy. I...
By day, I’m in healthcare — making decisions that impact real lives. By night, I’m at the tables, counting cards and calculating EV. Funny how both worlds demand precision, patience, and reading the...
By day, I’m deep in the world of neonatal medical billing ???? — dealing with high-stakes claims, complex codes, and insurance games that feel like a table full of hidden tells. One misstep, one...
Hello!
I've been generating indices and changing how true count is calculated, floor, truncate, round, to see how deviation values change and noticed in the sim parameters that there are three...
I understand that in order to get 2SD you multiply N0 by 4. So, if you are playing a game with a N0 of 2000 rounds, you would need 8000 rounds to overcome 2SD. If that same game had a SD of $1000 in...
Royal match 6 deck KQ suited pays 25 to 1, suited 3 to 1(first 2 players cards).. what is the house edge with this pay table I keep finding mixed results? Please help
Hi everyone,
Following the recent exchanges with BackCounter, I’ve been thinking that the Dynamic Insurance strategy
could be improved even further. Let me first explain the original idea.
On...
Hello all,
1) When flat betting and playing a side bet in CV Data "Real Shuffle," I get a big player advantage. However, when I change nothing except clicking on "Keep a log," the player advantage...
Has anyone created a compromise index for REKO-F that would work on a double deck or a 6 deck shoe for both H17 and S17? I feel like I am inviting confusion by learning four different indexes (or...
