Joe Wilson: Question for Norm

[Joe Wilson]

Norm,

I have a question for you regarding CVData and/or CVCX.

What I am trying to do is evaluate the game "Blackjack Streak." I would like to compare the EV for different counting strategies for the game.

I think what is needed is the ability to simulate starting a streak at a certain count and see how often the streak (2 wins in a row, 3 wins, 4 wins and 5 wins) occur. I know that CVCX will provide the EV at certain counts, but what I don't know is how the count varies from hand to hand. For example, given a certain count (say Hi Lo +6)for a certain game, the EV of win/loss is 3%.

At this point should we make the streak bets because the game has a positive EV?. However, what I can't determine is whether I should start at +6, or wait to start at +7 due to the fact that the next hand will invariably have a different count.

The bottom line, what count should I start playing the streak and is there any way to simulate this with CVData or CVCX?

Thanks and Regards,

Joe

This bet is supported in CVData V4 which is currently in testing.
