Ah, I'm not considering any kind of doubling situation, but I think you answered my question. Under only extreme situations would the true count be high enough to justify betting on a dealer bust,...
I certainly hope you’re not considering a 6 v 4 double. You’re super max bet is out and the variance would be huge.
Here’s an analogy. You will never win 50% of hands regardless of true count (I...
Thank you Don, Meistro123 and Norm for responding! I now know that a true +five does not break 50 percent in this scenario. Does anyone by chance know what would get above the 50 percent mark? Say...
None of the links above answers the OP's question. He doesn't want to know the dealer's bust rate overall, for all upcards, by TC; he wants to know the bust rate specifically of a 4, 5, and 6, as...
I know that a 4 through 6 upcard usually has a 40-42 percent chance of busting. Using High-Low as a reference, does anyone know at what true count a 4,5 & 6 upcard has a greater than 50 percent...
Tough year. The last of my father’s siblings passed away yesterday at 94. I’m booking a 3 day trip to Toronto area leaving Monday . Likely have time for 1 session. My info for play is old - Woodbine?
The first advantage should appear at -3 (which is equivalent to a TC = +1 in a balanced system).
Not only do you have to start the IRC at -24, but you also need to adjust your indices to use the...
Hello; that got me thinking; had not paid any attention to true-counting unbalanced counts before. I re-ran the sim using true counts from the start rather than just converting them for the graph;...
Well, between Hi-Lo and Halves you have a much less stressful alternative than Halves and more powerful: CAC2 ;-)
In theory, if there were always a table with a dealer ready to deal and with...
How is this NOT your dream? you can have the large thick TC and i get the cute little TC. We wont even be stepping on each others toes. Plus i know you LOVE blackjack haha.
Thanks Cacarulo! I simmed with the more practical hi-low full indices. I have used halves in the past, but find my brain is fried relatively quickly. I also didn't mention that this place deals very...
At the risk of sounding gauche by using a witticism as a segue, I wouldn't bet on it. Advantage play is an activity much closer to investing than to gambling. The former requires discipline, nerves...
I never liked the categorization of "unbalanced counts" to refer to those where the RC is not converted to TC.
Both balanced and unbalanced counts can be converted to TC. This applies to KO (TKO)...
Some comments. To me, it seems like a game with very good rules (S17, DAS, 5/6, and RSA) despite the allowed 1-10 spread.
The fact that there are many tables is another positive factor since it...
