composition dependant combinatorial analyzer (CDCA) question

[MercySakesAlive]

I was playing around with the composition dependant combinatorial analyzer at this website http://www.bjstrat.net/cgi-bin/cdca.cgi

I was trying to understand what some of the numbers represent.

My question: In the upper chart, what does the EV in the various boxes mean?

For instance, under the 2 it says 9.995 in the EV row. What does a 9.995 expected value mean in the 2 column mean?

In the top box the boxes in the EV row are the EV's for the selected hand against the various dealer up-cards.

Th second box gives the probability of each dealer total for the hand selected against the dealer up-cards.

Thanks. Does an EV of 9.995 mean that for each dollar I spend I can expect that I will profit $0.09995 over the long haul?

I means for the conditions the cell represents your EV is that percentage of your bet.

I have had an offline version of one of these for some while and I've always wondered what advantage perfect play would have in the real world over a Hi-Lo count in, say, a 6 deck game where the dealer places the cut card about one deck from the end. Anybody ever done such an analysis ?

The referenced analysis evolved in complexity and accuracy several times based on useful input from this forum; following are a couple of additional threads with more accurate numbers and additional thoughts/comments:

Brilliant eric. Thanks a lot.

As I've commented, the Tthree's insistence that the 20% increase in the hourly rate that Hi-Opt II gives is more than trivial is true of course, but when you're paying a cost of 200% more effort it puts it into a little more perspective. For some that won't be a great trade-off...

What do these numbers mean and what is their difference?

And is there an offline version of this program?
Are there any more advanced programs like this calculator?

thx

Hi Doghand,

Do you mind to help me to calculate the CD ev for (A,2) vs T, 8 deck, ENHC.

Most calculators give CD ev = -17.028%, except CD ev by icountNTrack calculator is -16.189%.

Why the ev so much different ?

How to contact icountNTrack?

James989,

The Wizard of Odds gives -0.170282, which agrees with the -17.028% that you said is given by most calculators; see

I don't know why ICountNTrack's value differs so much, nor do I know how to contact him. Apparently, his last visit to this board was in mid-January.

Hope this helps!
