    DetroitTC: Advantage vs. True Count

    Can someone explain why the Player's Advantage varies (with the same true count) as there are fewer decks left? In other words, a TC of +5 is more advantageous with 1 deck left as compared to 3 decks left. This was mentioned in Million $ BJ but not in Blackbelt in BJ, which is the strategy I use (Zen). How should bet size be changed for the same TC with fewer decks left?

    See BJA3, Chapter 6, The "Floating Advantage," for the most comprehensive discussion of this phenomenon in print anywhere.

About Blackjack: The Forum

BJTF is an advantage player site based on the principles of comity. That is, civil and considerate behavior for the mutual benefit of all involved. The goal of advantage play is the legal extraction of funds from gaming establishments by gaining a mathematic advantage and developing the skills required to use that advantage. To maximize our success, it is important to understand that we are all on the same side. Personal conflicts simply get in the way of our goals.
