    Nope.

    Taking his improper rule interpretation making the game no surrender, h17 plus other standard rules, still without simming, with off the top Calc of .63%, plus adding in effect of ENHC rules, he’s not breaking even until true 1.5 or so. With 60% equating to 3.6/6, his ability to play any meaningful true count is close to shit...... meaning that a knowing player would need to be a sado masochist in order to play this crap.

    Further, his psyche would expose suicidal tendencies by risking his constrained bankroll on the game described in OP. I& course, if he doesn’t give a shit and wants to take a Hail Mary, then fine.

    You’re right. I was referring to another MWP comment to another newbie. Regardless, the game as stated is crap, the stakes mentioned by wonging in will now allow for the purchase of 2 comic books.

    Mind you, I’m only surmising the current cost of a comic book. When I was a kid, Batman, Superman, Sgt. Rock and Nick Fury were .10, eventually going up to .12.

    That's funny. After reading your first paragraph, I was thinking exactly what you wrote in the one I quoted
