    It really is messy given restraints and interactions. I start with the math in CVCX. But, then I use an iterative technique that requires tens of millions of instruction executions to maximize SCORE.

    What do you mean by restraints and interactions? I assume a restraint would be min & max bet, risk, that sort of thing. I'm not really sure about interactions, at least not a way I can articulate what I think you mean by it.

    How would an optimal bet ramp look without the restraints & interactions? Or is it that there are restraints & interactions in blackjack that would make the question impossible to answer?

    Well for one, change the spread and all those numbers change. Remember that we are looking for overall top SCORE at a specified risk. Interactions come into play for the actual bets, since we don't bet pennies or oddball numbers. You can't just round all the optimal bets as changing one changes the risk and may require adjusting other bets, which then changes how optimal the first change was. It's an iterative process, particularly if you select the option to avoid rainbow stacks.
