Hello all,

Don helped me with this a few years ago, but I can't quite recall how to calculate the advantage. (Sorry Don.).

Suppose I can predict Aces with 16.67% accuracy. Isn't the equation
(.1667 times .51) plus .8333X = -0.005, assuming a dealer advantage of .5%?

If so, I end up with x = -.108.

How do I interpret this number? Does it mean that I am playing with a 10.8% disadvantage whenever I am not attempting to predict an Ace? That doesn't seem right. Maybe I am confusing advantage with EV?

(And apparently I am playing with an 8.50%, or .1667 times .51, advantage whenever I am attempting to predict an Ace?).

Thanks!
