Seemed to give an idea behind the theories beating blackjack. But I was wondering if there were any other online reads to supplement proving BJ can be beaten through math. just wanted to read up on it. Not for count systems, or how to beat the game in more EV ways, but the math behind it all.
Or do I just simply look into beat the dealer or BJA? Do they explain it there?
Beat The Dealer is good to start with.
Annoyingly, I can't find my copy, and I just looked.
Blackjack In Color has pictures generated from the math, but not much of the math itself, nor an explanation (so far as I can remember).
I don't remember much math explanation in Modern Blackjack. (Regrettably, I've only skimmed it - I remember a lot of "do this, because it's right" and not a lot of math saying "... and this is why it's right".)
The Optimum Strategy in Blackjack describes the math behind Basic Strategy (for single deck S17, anyway). This paper has plenty of math to enjoy.
May the cards fall in your favor.
