Antes simply subtract from your EV, but the calculation is a little tricky in that the BJ portion of your EV is subject to variance while the ante is a fixed expense, like travel.

Hi guys,
I am from minnesota and I purchased the cvbj and cvcx software in hopes of building a perfect game that i can eventually bring to casinos. After doing some research in the area, it looks...
Most people fix the bank size first. Most people don't say I want my spread to be x or my top bet to be y. They start by saying how much money they have to play the game. Doesn't that make sense to...
My question assumes the user does not set the Minimum Bet on CVCX. The software derives the minimum bet when you set Kelly, bankroll, and bet spread. I'm curious to know how it does this but the...
I realize if you know one the other can be calculated. But which precedes which? Based on p.212 #8, I would think it is Kelly bank. Whichever one comes first, I would like to know how it is...
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.
