(I double down on the $1.00 Blackjack)..There doesn't seem to be any heat for spreading from $1.00 up to $40.00, at least so far....
I would be interested to hear what others think about the table conditions, namely the even money on BJ from $1.00 up to $9.00?.....Thank you for any and all input.....ronster
Simulators won’t work as far as I ‘know, as the dual BJ payout can’t be handled. So......., pencil and paper.
Assume 100 hands per hour, average pen producing 25 hands player advantage, 75 hands house advantage.
75 loser hands at $1=$75 action per hour at 3% he = loss of $2.25 per hour.
25 winner hands at $20 avg. = $500 action per hour = 1.5% player advantage =gain of $7.50 per hour.
Profit is $5.25 per hour.
Even money BJ $1 min bet at 3% house edge means nothing.
Here’s another way of looking at it.
Two tables side by side. One table pays even money bj bets. Beast mode ASM deals 75 hands per hour insuring no true exceeds 2.5. You flat bet $1.00, expecting a 3% loss on your $75 action. The table next door, with a very chatty dealer dealing only 25 hands per hour, has beast mode set to insure that all hands equate to true 3 and above. You average $20 bet on 25 hands =$500 at 1.5%. Pretty simple really. Adjust for varying trues, various advantages, and varying deck pens, however, the point is clear.
Increase your positive bet, increase your profit.
Ronster was much closer to house edge calculation than Meistro. Further, his instincts were correct. Adjust for edge up or down.
The foregoing not to be construed as advice. Hopefully, no typos.
