$ocrate$: the best BJ game on this planet!!!

[$ocrate$]

hello my friends,

so, i am sure nobody of you would believe that a game like this is existing somewhere on this planet but it does!!!
its played with a shoe, 6 decks, 50 (-55%) pen, NHC, DAS, RESPLIT ACES!!! (ooooo yes! you can split aces 4 hands!!!), surrender (not on dealers ace), min. bet 1 dollar max 500 dollars!!! and whenever the dealer has a 7, 8, 9 or a ten you can take insurance on dealers second hand to be a ten!(like usually on dealers ace ).

i was playing more than 15 years black jack but the last 3 years i stopped because of texas poker (live games and internet). after i saw and played that game i didnt play poker the last 8 days.

i count hi-low and my girlfriend-very easy- the insurance count.

can somebody please tell me how big is the advantage on this game even when the pen is so pure (50%)?

thank you all in advance,

$ocrate$

I believe I even know the country, where it is located.

Definetely it is beatable, but nothing exciting. With that sort of penetration it is very rare when insurance bet is justified.

$ocrate$,

I ran a CVData sim of a 6D, S17 (you didn't say), ENHC, DAS, RSA, ES10 game with 50% pen and four total players with a card counter (you) using Complete HiLo and perfect Insurace side count with a 1:15 spread (1 unit at TC<=+1, 2 units at +2, 5 units at +3, 10 units at +4 and 15 units for +5 and up), and found you winning 2,286,340 units on bets totaling 735,116,120 units: this translates into a Total Bet Advantage of 0.311%. Of these totals, you bet 4,753,618 units on normal Insurance bets and won 213,966 units, so your advantage on normal Insurance bets was 4.501%.

Now, if you get to take "Insurance" against dealer upcards of 7, 8, 9, 10, J, Q, and K (as well as against an A, like normal), then you'll win an additional 7 x 213,966 = 1,497,762 units and bet an additional 7 x 4,753,618 = 33,275,326 units. Therefore your total win will be 4,784,102 units on bets totaling 768,391,446 units, so your Total Bet Advantage will be 0.623%.

As Orson pointed out, this is not a very good game, due to the terrible penetration. Now if you could get them to deal 5/6, you might have something ;-)

If you'd care to change any of these specs (# of players, # of hands played by you, bet schedule, etc.) let me know and I'll rerun the sim.

Hope this helps!
