Hello everyone
I am new to the forums, so I appologize if this question has been answered before. I tried using the search, but I couldn't find exactly what I was looking for.
A friend and I were discussing the situation where you have hard 11, and the dealer is showing 10. Most strategests will say that you Double Down in this situation.
The reasoning behind this I thought was summed up well here: (Dead link: http://www.fringe.com/games/blackjack/10calls.php) (just scroll down to the '11 vs. Dealer's 10' section)
In the explination, the author says 'You'll lose 44 percent of the time if you hit, and 46 percent of the time if you double'.
Does anyone know how they came up with these percentages? The websites I've come across never really give a good explination as to how these were calcualted.
Thanks,
Ryan
