I wrote something about this for Katarina long ago, but lost it. (EV/Var) * bankroll * kelly is a very good start and is optimal assuming the count never changes. But you have this formula for each...

The bank for every chart in chapter 10 is $10,000, which is one of the requirements of SCORE. The optimal bet ramps are then determined for each game. Number of units in Kelly bank = $10k/unit size,...
The intermediate bets between the min and max are, in fact, determined by the formula you mention. But the min and max are decided by the player, and these constraints are what make finding the...
Hello Don, I read p.212 #8 prior to posting, however, it does not really address my question. I realize that $10k divided by #units in Kelly bank = unit size. But how are the #units in the Kelly...
Norm, in the past, you have stated that determining the bet ramp is an 'iterative process'. Can you elaborate what you mean by that? With the exception of calculating the minimum bet, the rest of...
There is no formula, as such, for calculating min bet unless you are only going to make one bet. There is a messy process. I'll be posting something about this in the next few weeks.
Not really. A bet at +1 can have an advantage that is slim when flooring or truncating because +1 incorporate all counts from 0.1 and 1.0, so when playing your +2 counts, the advantage is more than...
can i use cvdata to sim sidebets that is not blacljack based.? i want to know the frequency of a bet becoming positive so i can choose optimal departure for shoes that offer less value.
See p. 212, #8. It pays to read the introductory material. :peaceful:
There are Optimal and Practical columns. The Practical are, well, practical bet sizes that deviate slightly from the...
If I've already been asked not to play somewhere that scans ID for every single patron on entry, would it be helpful at all to change appearance to try looking drastically different?
CVData does randomize periodically like a casino table getting new cards. Don't remember how often. If you have multi-threading on, it is basically playing at multiple tables with different shoes and...
@Norm, one idea I have in mind is whether the initial state of the shoe has an impact on the EV where you are more or less "stuck" in a bad state because of the non-randomness of the shuffle and you...
Generally not. The one pass R&R I have as a sample is basically non-existent these days. Every several years someone tells me they have seen it. Of course there are many levels of randomness included...
