Don/other experts, How to find covariance of a game ?

[bjarg]

What I can see here is that aceside tries to avoid the problem of multiple hands associated with a dealer Blackjack. The strategy could be applicable to Ace sequencing... Play only one hand and share the Ace with the dealer (on average) instead of playing a "buffer hand" and lose both to a dealer BJ.

But that logic would be innacurate.
Im far from being an expert in sequencing, but Ive done my fair share of it on simple shuffles and casinos with sloppy procedures where dealers showed cards and what you really want to do in a round with an ace is to bet big in the box where you have the ace tracked, but also bet minimum (or very small) in all the other boxes.
That way if you miss the ace you reduce the chances of it going to the dealer at a very little cost which far outweights the risk of losing that max bet against a dealers ace.
Of course doing this solo raises huge red flags, for obvious reasons.
Most experts Ive seen play serious sequencing strategies had team members to play those minimum bets when required.
