Hi all,
I am interested in creating a program that outputs the optimal decision during a hand. Naturally, the aforementioned goal is nothing new and is the purpose of advantage play, however, I think players can improve their edge by combining well known (and lesser known) strategies and techniques and have it given to them in an easy to use manner.
Some of the strategies/techniques I would like to test and/or combine are basic strategy (with indexed variations based on the most accurate card counting strategies), shuffle tracking, ace tracking and (hopefully, machine learning). The program should be able to use image recognition software in order to scan the information from the live game, process the information based on the above and eventually give the best probabilistic output. What makes this project different to others out there is the emphasis on shuffle and ace tracking. In the same way that the outcome of a roulette is determined by the physics of its construction, placement, alignment, velocity of the spinner, velocity of the ball (and many, many more factors), by knowing the position of all the cards in the discard tray and analysing the shuffle a clearer picture will emerge in the next shoe which should potentially improve the player's odds.
This is a quick abstract, a proof of concept should be ready some time soon.
I am not an experienced programmer but plan on learning Python during the summer. I'm looking for programmers, designers or anyone really that would like to contribute to this project and help make it a reality. If you have a friend that might be interested feel free to let him know.
Send me a private message and we can further discuss things from there.
Thank you,
