    Reyth,

    Rather than continuing to antagonise the regulars here, why don't you take a step back and examine some of the fundamentals underlying that around which you're raising questions? Here are three to be going on with . . .

    (a) why is the game of blackjack fundamentally different from that of roulette?

    (b) why is it possible to play BJ with a mathematical advantage (if the game conditions are right of course) but not the wheel of doom (in the vast, vast, vast majority of cases)?

    (c) why is it not possible to illicit the same advantage when playing RNG based blackjack games online (afterall, the rules will still be the same)?

    You're quite right in that you do stand to learn loads here about the maths behind the game of blackjack (I certainly did many years ago), and possibly other gambles as well if you ask nicely, but only if you're prepared to ditch those long standing voodoo considerations you seem to be hanging on to. The example you posted, of your string of past results where you have selectively highlighted a section of it, is a completely meaningless exercise as knowing what they are will have no impact on what is going to happen in the future - regardless of whether you're playing with an advantage over the house or otherwise. The only benefit in examining past results is to see whether they fall within statistical norms or not (ie as a test to see whether you've been playing a rigged game). Past results have no value whatsoever in informing future betting decisions. That is the simple truth. If you feel there's merit in debating that then I'm afraid you're in the wrong place.

    Lastly, listen to Don S. He has one of the most respected gambling-maths minds on this planet. If he says you're barking up the wrong tree, then you're barking up the wrong tree.

    Regards,

About Blackjack: The Forum

BJTF is an advantage player site based on the principles of comity. That is, civil and considerate behavior for the mutual benefit of all involved. The goal of advantage play is the legal extraction of funds from gaming establishments by gaining a mathematic advantage and developing the skills required to use that advantage. To maximize our success, it is important to understand that we are all on the same side. Personal conflicts simply get in the way of our goals.
