    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?

    Hi Norm,
    PowerSim works fine, I doubt that the problems you mentioned are real issues.

    Accuracy concerns are addressed here:

    and cannot calculate optimal bets correctly.
    My link shows it uses the most accurate calculation.
    It also uses a useless linear congruential generator for random numbers.
    It simulates blackjack card counting rapidly and accurately, using a pseudo-RNG. The results are consistent and accurate, therefore "not useless".
    I don't know what simplified REFO-F means since REKO-F is the non-simplified version of REKO. F stands for Full.
    I left out all split indices.

    It might be old software, but it is not a mistake. "Don't laugh, it works".
