Default Blackjack Statistics

I was wondering if anyone could answer the following question. If I played
exactly one million hands using basic strategy, no splits. what would the following percentages look like? I wrote a simulator that plays blackjack and I would like to validate the percentages I am getting against a reliable source. Thanks...

Wins: ? %
Losses: ? %
Pushes: ? %

I have seen a ton of stats posted everywhere but they are all regarding card counting and the house advantage not just the straight win/loss/push ratios you would expect to obtain playing a randomized 6 deck, 50% reshuffle point, basic strategy game.

It should come very close to

W = 43.5%
L = 48.0%
P = 8.5%

But basic strategy does involve splits. Seems like you should count the extra hands created by splitting as part of the million. But what do I know?

Your question raises a question - do you know correct basic strategy? zg
