I have created my own bot program that using composition dependent strategy.

[James989]

Hi,

I am using Excel macro (and help from other expert) to write a BJ calculator and a bot program. This program is ONLY for my ONLINE BJ game :-

1) Single deck
2) Peek rule
3) H17
4) No surrender
5) DAS, Double after split
6) Double on hard 10 or 11 only
7) Original hand split once to form 2 hands, NO resplit.
8) Split Ace only receive one card
9) Bet max 3 hands per round
10) Shuffle after each round.
11) Insurance pay 2 to 1

The house edge is 0.37%.

The bot program read cards that dealt to player(3 hands max) automatically, input to BJ calculator, calculate the perfect composition dependent strategy and act accordingly. The bot program will play the game fully automatically and it's about 70% done.

My request :-

a) Any expert here can suggest more functions/features that I can add to this program in order to have a better bot ?
b) Please give/suggest(as many as you can) "border" BJ hand examples that can really verify the accuracy of my program, for example (5,4,5,1) vs T. . . .

Someone may argue that BJ calculator still can't overcome the house edge but I am sure that with the bonus given I can get NET PROFIT from this game.

Make sure your Bot recognizes the difference between insurance, and Hit/Stand decisions with Ace Up-card..Also give speacial attention to ALL Hard 16s.Theres a pretty good discrepancy between 10,6 and 10,5,A combinations..

"Theres a pretty good discrepancy between 10,6 and 10,5,A."

The discrepancy is equal to what "pretty good" amount in e.v.?

All already taken care, however, thanks for your comments.

It's single deck, bet 3 hands, only worth to buy insurance when there is one( Ev=0) or no(Ev= -6.7%) T cards
