You bring up a good point about having compositions that dont have enough cards for 3 splits. I think we need to avoid using those compositions because they introduce an extra layer of complexity to...
It is true that the potential playing deviations for Cash Out won't be worth much, especially if the most common ones are biased toward negative counts; the ease of wonging in and out of the game in...
I think for this exercise we only need to list the final optimum states (a state is a combination of played out split hands with an indication on whether the hand was double or not) that were used in...
My appologies Cac, forgot to generate the values for you. I have two values, red value is from my locally optimum, blue value is from globally optimum approach. It seems that my globally optimum...
Yes, those cases aren't entirely random; they have a few additional layers of complexity. I was curious to see the results iCountNTrack obtained with his own CA before sharing my full analysis of the...
That’s what I thought. But if the program is forcing situations that should never happen, how can the result still be correct? What would the EV be if, upon drawing a 6 to the first hand, the program...
These cases are in the "CDP vs. maximum" table provided earlier; see the links to each corresponding line number:
0 0 0 0 0 4 7 0 0 0 | 7, 7 vs 6 | 2.4285714285714284
0 0 0 0 0 ...
In case you missed my earlier which was buried in the other page. I still dont get the same value. But it's closer now!
Action: Split
Expectation Value: 2.601398601398604

For example, the first scenario listed, "868 88 86# 8", indicates that we have split to 4 hands, completed the first two, and have drawn a 6 to the third, on which we should double down... but I...
Aaaa, sorry I should have told you about this. The number of resplits means the number of splits AFTER the initial split. So when you input 3 that means you will end up with 5 split hands.
This figure was created using Mathematica; that's what I typically reach for when doing visualization.
The split EVs are here, in the same order as the previously linked table (in original format...
Gentlemen, here are some interesting examples I’d like you to recalculate, especially the maximum expected value:
0 0 0 0 0 4 7 0 0 0 | 7, 7 vs 6 |
0 0 0 0 0 4 7 0 0 0 |...
What is your point? You want to convince some of the greatest teams in the history of blackjack--Francesco/Uston, Hyland, the Greeks, the Czechs, MIT, et al. that the concept can't work? They'll...
I don't know if I would consider my experiences "wholesome". As a side hustle, it's been a long struggle/journey. The moments which make me feel good are associated with accomplishing goals and the...
10k for each member playing as if bankroll of 100k . let's say max bet is $500 it is only 20 max bets . People playing in 2 different states . how are you going to bring $ back n forth . Time lost...
