    No. The change in variance and EV only affects the players playing multiple hands and only their hands. Why would other players change their bets because you are playing multiple hands? Their variance and EV is unchanged by what you do.

    But the scheme I propose here for a 6-player table is the best possible money making one. Any off from this scheme of betting 0.36 unit from each of the 6 players will make the house rip off more money from players. This still bothers me, but the weather is bright outside.

    Is there any statement you make re the mathematics of blackjack that isn't utter nonsense? Why are you here: to learn or to spout voodoo lunacy?

    Of course I post here to learn. This forum has cleared some of my doubts; for example, I mistakenly thought that the play deviation indices change with the dealing depth in a 8-deck shoe, but this has been proved wrong. So far, I can barely beat some games, but only when playing solo. If I play with two or more other players, I cannot beat these games anymore. What is the math behind multiple-player tables?

    This isn't rocket science. Read the respected texts (such as Wong's Prof BJ and Don's BJA3) and that's all you need to know. No what ifs involved. You keep trying to reinvent the wheel, making things so much more complex than they really are, but your version is never round.

    News report says that the New York governor Cuomo is set to make $5 million from selling his book of American Crisis about covid-19. This news is encouraging to me as I am thinking to publish a new blackjack book on my inventions, but I am not sure how much money I can harvest from this book.

    Perhaps the experience of my brother in law may be of value. His book - I made $100.00 in Real Estate - yielded enough to buy a small brick of halvah. I believe he is working on a second blockbuster - Conspiracies for Dummies.

    Frankly if Ace can somehow figure out a way to make voodoo magic work it would likely be much more profitable than card counting!
