A suggestion: this bet involves an intelligent person and a moron. I don't think 200 hands should be sacrosanct. If this person believes standing is superior to hitting, then surely, he'd like the experiment to display the truth, right?

After all, he wouldn't want to play just 10 hands, and risk being proven wrong by a fluke occurrence, would he?

I guess he won't trust a book or computer sim, so we're going to have to deal hands. But, for $15,000, why stop at 200? Who's in a rush? Let's get it right. So, let's deal 500 or 600 hands ... or more. What's the difference? If the moron thinks he's got the right side of things, he should want MORE hands, not fewer, right?

Just a suggestion.
