If I want to figure out how much I should be down on an internet blackjack game after 1 million hands at $10 per hand with a house edge of 0.1% with the average number of units wagered per hand at...
I'm starting to work on calculating the EV for splits as I think that's probably the most likely spot for errors in the code.
In order to calculate the EV for the splits, I would want to track the...
I have noticed they are putting up fake walls and getting rid of thier tables. Does anybody know what is going on?
I noticed the lowest crap table was 50 dollars. What a shame! I never heard of a...
It isn't tricky to simulate, but it is tricky to compare your results with results created by other combinatorial analysis (CA) programs.
I can ask Eric's CA what the EV is when the dealer has an...
Thanks, I hadn't considered this approach. I really appreciate you providing this data.
What makes the dealer BJ tricky? If its's a natural it should resolve as either a push or a loss (ignoring...
Ugh. Sorry. I'll go back and correct the original.
P.S. It might have helped if I had read the last full paragraph of page 20 of the book before responding!

I think the key to index plays is a simple rule that I have followed.. Whatever index plays you DO decide to learn ( and learning 15 to 20 plays will have a significant increase to your chances of...
This is another set of data that you can use to cross-check your results with Eric's code. I modified Eric's code to collect the EV separately for each first decision. Player Blackjack is lumped in...
Thank you! Heard back from Dave that, indeed, +11 is the R-A index. And, the reason for using it that way is that, even so, it ranks a measly 48 out of the 50 in the chart. Were it the +4...
Hi Don,
It seems to me that in the book, you must be using the RA index for this play. The EM index (Hi-Lo) I get is +3/+4 for 6 or 8 decks and +4 for 4 decks.
In CAC2, there is a +4 difference...
Not impossible. But I do think there are some floor and surveillance know 12 v. 4 and 13 v. 2 as potential counter plays. Whatever book from surveillance guy that I read I believe mentioned those...
Very clear explanation and presentation of the data. I actually learned something, which I don't get to say all that often! I wouldn't have known that, in ENHC, where the loss in EV to the player is...
I thought it might help if I just dump Eric's analysis for you to look at. The EV is -0.615389123, which means I am probably using the same rules as you. There may be a slight change in EV due to...
I've never had any indication that a floor person became even slightly suspicious of a play from hitting stiffs. Same for more senior personnel. I've never seen it.
I've never seen any...
It's Winter Carnival Time at MTU. Tonight is the all nighter, and I remember it well from my college days. Tomorrow is the judging along with a blizzard that is suppose to hit around 11:00 am. This...
