Can The Law of Diminishing Returns Apply to Blackjack?

I’m not gonna run through sims myself to confirm but my suspicion is that on a poor penetration, six deck, surrender game in which you’re only spreading one to four... you’re not going to lose more than the 50 units in a shoe very often regardless (unless you go max bet super early at true 2 or something)... so that’s going to lead to the results you’re seeing

If you use a spread that will generate a more substantial edge/ hourly, like at least one to 10... and you only show up at the table with 50 units as opposed to 100 then the results will be far more dramatic

Regardless... it’s never advisable to shuffle away a situation in which you have an edge, for one in which you don’t have an edge

Finally, this is a start, thank you...and thank you again. Next series of sims will be with a larger spread. Thank you once again.
