Well done for trying that out. That must have taken some nerve. I don't think I've ever actually tried to sit out a whole shoe before.
I must warn you trying to work out the optimal departure...
The S&P 500 covers US companies only.
Perhaps the S&P 500 will continue to outperform global stock market returns, perhaps it will not. There is also the issue of inflation.
However, I don't...
Thank you for your response. I understand the point you raise about real world variables, but the tool we have developed is NOT well known to the community. First of all our strategies have 5 degrees...
I appreciate the academic theoretical framework as a fellow mathematician, but we're still talking past each other since your results are (a) largely already well-known to the community, and (b) only...
Curious that you mention that you are not very interested in the game, being that you have more than 5500 posts in this forum called “Blackjack Forum”, and that you were the first to comment on the...
"If you are as interested in the study of the game as we are,"
No, clearly, no chance of that. I just dabble and have a passing interest.
"we would be happy to discuss our work at a technical...
At my local casino, I sat out literally an entire shoe watching everything. I got a few funny looks and was asked a couple times if I had a players card, but nothing besides that. I wanted to see...

Our strategies do take into consideration “the value of time”, but in an indirect way. We have defined a betting strategy by 3 parameters: absolute risk aversion (ari), relative risk aversion (rri)...
I will tolerate a game with a very low SCORE under certain circumstances if I think I can get away with it for a very long time and/or the absolute returns are very good. Most people will not.

Sitting out the entire shoe would not be possible I agree but there are places which will tolerate sitting out 50%.
The main wagers can be counted themselves relatively simply - they actually...
Hi Archvaldor,
While you can opt out of a few hands, sitting out 90% isn’t realistic. The SCORE of 11 refers exclusively to the Dragon7 side bet, which is only available when you also place a...
This is all true. However it should be added the baccarat generally has much higher maximums and bet spreads don't really mean anything. It is not that uncommon to see players jump from min to max....
