    Optimal betting

    I just put it on the calculator at this site. BR 15,000. 80 hands per hour, spreading 1-7, doubling 9-11, H17, DAS and this is what I got. What is puzzling is the higher bet for TC3 than for TC's that are higher. Can someone explain it?

    It is a mistake. Look at the unit bets. TC +3 is not greater than higher TC's. You see 1.99 units is made to 2 units, and 4.39 units is made to 4 units for practical bets. I don't know why 6.47 units is made to 8 units. Especially because 7 units remain 7 units.

    The online calculator is a very old version of the CVCX calculator. It has some difficulties when the Rational Bets option is set in some cases.

    Something us haywire with your input. Some of the result numbers don't make sense. But, why are you concerned with an optimal betting ramp?
