    You would need CVData for that. I should have gone deeper on four-deck. But, four-deck games are rare.

    If you're just trying to figure out the EV and whether it's worthwhile or not and all that.....sim it for super deep pen, slightly less, slightly less, etc. until you get to the minimum pen it'll allow. Obviously the EV will be going down as you do this. You know it's going to be significantly lower than the lowest setting. Use the other settings and values to make a ballpark projection of the value. It'll probably be a lot worse than you project, BTW.

    Yes i dont think that the ev is linear with the pen. If anyone has cvdata that can help that would be awesome!

    blueman,

    Using Basic HiLo and a bet schedule of $5 for TC <=0 and $300 (sorry... couldn't get $299) for TC>=+1 heads-up gives a Win Rate of $55.16/100 rounds with an IBA of 0.823% and a SD of 312.9/100 rounds. The c-SCORE is 12.43, with an N0 of 80,478 rounds. You'll bet $300 on just over 21% of the rounds.

    I've played a similar machine and doubt you could get 100 rounds per hour even playing heads-up. Furthermore, how do you know when the machine shuffles?

    Hope this helps!
