I wrote a simulator in c# with the intention of analyzing blackjack variants.
As a baseline I wanted to sim a standard bj game to check the programs EV matches with expectation, using WoO and CVdata to compare results. 6D, H17, DAS, DOA, SPL3, NSA, LS, 1 deck cut off .. basic strategy EV -0.55%
To keep it simple I counted the number of payoff events and summed their p*EV to find the total EV. Is this not the way to calculate EV? After a 10b round sim the results are shown below.. EV -0.52% .. close but I figured it'd be dead on?
One potential problem I am having is 2.7% of the hands are split, compared to CVdatas 2.5%. I have walked through all split scenarios including handling of aces and I cant explain this one. I must be missing something obvious.
