BJ House Edge in various conditions

[James989]

8D, S17, NoSurr, NoDAS, DOA, PEEK on Ace, SPL1, SPLA1, Penetration = 50%, Flat Bet.


1) Flat Bet, Basic Strategy HE = -0.708%
2) Flat Bet, Hi-Opt 2 Counting Strategy(Full Index) HE = -0.588%
3) Flat Bet, Perfect Composition Dependent Strategy HE = ?


Anyone can help ? Thanks

While your top value doesn't seem right to me (should be -.609), the third line should be -.6072.

Thanks for your reply.

Peek on Ace only, BS HE = -0.708%
Peek(on Ace and Ten) BS HE = -0.608%
Flat Bet, Hi-Opt 2 Counting Strategy(Full Index) HE = -0.588%( sim results from CVDATA)
Are you saying that Perfect Composition Dependent Strategy HE = -0.6072% ?

A small detail: when we talk about HE (House Edge), we are referring to the house advantage, which is normally positive.
In the examples you mentioned, it is the player who has the advantage, not the house.
So, the signs in these cases should simply be positive.

1) TD-EV = -0.609% (HE = +0.609%)
2) CD-EV = -0.608% (HE = +0.608%)
3) OP-EV = -0.607% (HE = +0.607%)

Thank you for correcting my mistake.

Any answer for the Perfect Composition Dependent Strategy HE ?

I think your answer is for PEEK(peek on Ace and Ten).

When Only Peek on Ace, HE = 0.708 ?

"Peek" has nothing to do with the house advantage. The house advantage is measured "off the top".
When penetration is incorporated into the sim, what is known as the cut card effect (CCE) appears.
This causes the house advantage to increase.
To calculate it correctly with CVDATA, you have to set the number of rounds, for example, to 40.

Sim results from CVDATA(1 billion rounds each)

1) Peek on ACE only, set number of rounds to 1 round/shoe, HE = 0.699
2) Peek on ACE only, set number of rounds to 40 round/shoe, HE = 0.696
3) Fully Peek, set number of rounds to 1 round/shoe, HE = 0.607
4) Fully Peek, set number of rounds to 40 round/shoe, HE = 0.613

There is probably some error in the basic strategy. Compare it with BJA3's. The result should be 0.609%.
Edit: 1 billion is not enough. You need at least 10 billion.

Seems like you should have the 'Insurance' field checked. That's where the difference comes from.

'Insurance' field not checked

Question: With James989 stating "50% penetration", should we add a cut card effect to it ?
