Tthree, just curious, what are using to calculate the EV for this game?

Yes, 3:2, double on any 2 cards, RS4 are assumed for the online calculator. Only so many of the trillions of combinations are included here.

Thanks a lot Norm!
The reason I asked is because I found a place with rules that Ive never seen before and was intrigued on what my EV would be.
4D, S17, ES, RS4, RSA, D2, DAS
Blackjack pays 2:1 and penetration is 97% because they dont use a cut card! They just burn 5 cards and then go through the entire shoe.
The place has no heat at all because I dont think they even know what card counting is.
Conditions probably won't stay like this for too long, but since the place is not big and not many counters play there (at least I never came across any) Im hoping it'll take a while for them to realize what they're doing.

Thanks again for all your help!

could you tell me in which country is that game?, city?
Use PM if you would.

If you double your max bet you double your EV as long as your betting units at each 1% of advantage are also doubled. If you just double your spread you don't double your EV.

Just make sure BJ is 2:1 and not 2 for 1

^ What's 2 for 1 mean?


Partially on-topic, if the OP (original poster) were to change his betting schedule from 5-60 to 10-120, would that double his hourly "wage"? If he were to bet 1/2 unit ($5) on negative counts, that would even increase his hourly wage more ? ie: He'd be making more than $22/hour by betting 5$ in negative counts, and 10-120 in positive counts when the count sees fit? (Then, this would also increase the player's Risk of Ruin....am I right?)

Sorry if this isn't the right place to ask. =\

This is not a game.....it's an ATM machine. Play this for 12 hours/day 7 days/week until they pull the game....and if you want me to play the other 12 hour shift for you while you are sleeping tell me where it is.

JG, I suspect that an ante is involved.

Nope, no ante.Maybe some drug money laundry... But no ante.
