Cacarulo: An answer to an old question

[Cacarulo]

I know that for many of you this is not a secret but perhaps you are not aware about the math behind.

If I had to learn ONE BS chart, what would that strategy be? Should I learn a SD BS which I can then use in multiple decks? or should I learn a MD BS which I can then use in SD?

Let's look at the numbers:

Scenario #1

1D,S17,DOA,DAS,SPA1,SPL3,NS using a 1D BS yields an EV of 0.144066%

1D,S17,DOA,DAS,SPA1,SPL3,NS using a MD BS yields an EV of 0.111922%

By using the incorrect strategy we lose -0.032144%

Scenario #2

8D,S17,DOA,DAS,SPA1,SPL3,NS using a MD BS yields an EV of -0.432478%

8D,S17,DOA,DAS,SPA1,SPL3,NS using a 1D BS yields an EV of -0.481424%

By using the incorrect strategy we lose -0.048946%

Evidently, scenario #1 is better than scenario #2. So we are better off if we learn a MD BS!

I used combinatorial analysis.

I know I won't get any brownie points for this, but I've always known that. :-)
