I thought it would be interesting to see how many backoffs we are getting per hour played. I know a lot of folks don't have accurate records on this, but a good estimate is good enough. I didn't start keeping track of my hours played until the year 2000. So my best guess for each session played (in most cases a session is one day) is between 5 and 6 hours played. Its probably closer to 5 hours than 6 for each session because when I was working full time I could not play a real long session.
However, my total lifetime number of times I played is exactly 2,200 times. Now lets assume 5 hours for each session played and we have 11,000 hours for my total lifetime blackjack play. So if I divide by my total number of backoffs, I have one backoff for every 2,200 hours played.
I should mention for about the first 10 years of my blackjack play I wasn't a very good player and no backoffs occured. I just didn't spread enough.
Okay, anybody else want to mention how many backoffs they are getting per hour played.
