My bet size for hand1, hand2 and hand3 is 1unit, 3units and 10 units, the reason is that the last hand( hand3) have lowest HE because you can adjust your strategy base on that 10 seen cards !

    You may also take insurance if ONLY have one or less T card out of your 6 cards(initial 2 cards from each hand) !
    That's a great idea, deviation indices should work well if you play multiple hands in single deck.
    If there's exactly 15 Tens, and 30 non Tens, should you buy insurance? The EV is 0, how about variance?

    you start with 16 tens and 36 non tens.

    so if you have 1 ten and 5 non tens that is a ration of 15 tens and 31 non tens. then there is the ace of course, so it would be a ratio of 15:30 and there would be no edge on the insurance bet. in that situation i would take it in part, if i had good hands, in full if i had great hands, and not at all with weak hands.

    If there's exactly 15 Tens, and 30 non Tens, I will buy insurance because it will increase the wagering ! Bonus hunting is about to reach wagering requirement with minimum cost !

    There is one Ace for dealer's upcard ! So it is 15 tens and 30 non tens ! Insurance EV=0, buy insurance to increase wagering for FREE(zero cost) !

    Yes, for online casino, 0 EV bet is golden bet.
    How about in land-based casino card counting situation?
    Is buying insurance at 0 EV increase the variance or decrease it?

    For online wagering requirement play, I was told that player should sometime deviate from the basic strategy . . . .

    I guess the reason is :-

    Assume HE = 0.36%, for a particular hand :-

    HIT ----- ev = -0.21%
    Double ------ev = -0.45%

    I think we should Double instead of HIT,

    a)If you Double, your wager increase 2 units and loss 0.0045 unit for TOTAL WAGER = 2 UNITS
    b)If you HIT, your wagering increase 1 unit and losing 0.0021 unit , and in next round you bet another hand(wager increase another 1 unit), you will loss 0.0036 unit(House edge), total loss = 0.0021 + 0.0036 =0.0057 units for TOTAL WAGER = 2 UNITS

    So DOUBLE is better than HIT, am I missing something ? Please advise.

    For land based casino, I would suggest to buy insurance for camouflage purpose.

    "So DOUBLE is better than HIT, am I missing something?"

    I would say the general rule is that wagering requirements are based only on the initial bet, and that splitting and doubling does not usually contribute towards rollover.

    splitting and doubling DOES contribute towards rollover. I have checked this

    Maybe at some casinos, but as I said, the general rule is that it does not.

    I am not sure about this for US or EUROPE online casinos, but for ALL Asia online casinos, splitting and doubling DOES contribute towards rollover.

    I think buying insurance when more money(high count) on the table draws heat.
    Buy insurance with minimum bets is camouflage.
    Anyone know about variance?
    Do you play online BJ only? or both online and land-based?
