Software to compare different strategies

[Student]

Hello, I'm a Student and i have to write an essay about Blackjack strategies. Is there any programm where I can compare two strategies? If this isn't possible is there a programm where I can test a strategy? All I can find online are Blackjack training softwares, so I thought maybe you guys can help me.

Thanks for your help.

You can search GitHub for this, but here are my recommendations:

Blackjack Simulator in Python:

PowerSim Simulator in xBasic:

PowerSim is laughable.

PowerSim is accurate and gets the job done for free. It calculates EV, SCORE, and optimal ramp for different strategies. A simplified REKO-F strategy file is attached, along with a hi-lo lite strategy file.

REKO-F: reko_1d_simple.txtreko_1d_simple.txt

Hi-Lo Lite: hilo_lite_1d.txt

You can use PowerSim and these files to quickly simulate REKO-F and hi-lo lite and compare the SCORE for this single-deck game. Using python is another approach.

PowerSim does not even calculate TC correctly and cannot calculate optimal bets correctly. It also uses a useless linear congruential generator for random numbers. I don't know what simplified REFO-F means since REKO-F is the non-simplified version of REKO. F stands for Full. Python is another matter.

I bet.. just guessing here.. that maybe someone has already done some of these comparisons, even rans some sims and wrote about them in a book.. Just guessing...

This will provide the SCORE of various strategies: https://card-counting.com/cvcxonlineviewer.htm

Comparing different strategies depends on circumstances. No one strategy is the absolute best at everything. In my book, I have a comparison which weights various strategies by the percentage of available rule sets that existed at the time I wrote the chapter. But it was just an interesting experiment.

There's a lot to unpack . This could be overwhelming if you are a newbie. Did you know what strategies you intended to compare e.g., Basic vs. Hi-Lo, Level 1 vs Level 2 or 3 Count system, Flat bet vs Spread, Play All vs Back Count? If you're talking about an "essay" vs. a "paper", you would need to keep it very high level. How much time do you have to put this together?
