This hypothetic post is just a result of pure curiosity. Let say you had a Rainman-superhuman brain, that allowed you to register and track each and every card drawn from the deck or shoe. That should bring the possibility of gaining a quite good edge over the house if you can somehow utilize...

While we are on the topic (read: sorry for hijack) I'm having some trouble understanding how one can declare a static RoR for applying a given strategy to a given game without discussing volume. I can understand how you can calculate a RoR for playing a given strategy and game for a predefinded...

I bought the CVBJ + CVCX package. :)

Awsome! I was wondering if it was that or CVData. Actully I can't figure out the difference between the two.

The game that I have available is 6 decks, S17, D9, DAS, No Surrender, No Peek. I want to explore what RoR and hourly results I can expect with different counting systems and betting spreads. Can I use CVCX for this?

Well ok. I just thought that all the -EV hands you could avoid playing could compensate for that. But you are probably right.

I have noticed that in primetime hours when the tables are full, that people often place bets behind other players. Why not just backcount and play behind another player during positive counts only? This obviously requires that you can find a player that can execute BS. This whay you...

A question I can aswer!!! Nope

Sonny, If I were to implement your edge formula, would it be correct to count a push as a played hand?

Actually I am counting the amounts. And I have taken splits and doubles into account. What I am trying to achieve is to calculate the edge, to se if I can get the same result as the basic strategy engine - to validate my implementation of the game. At first I implemented the logic from...

So if I were flatting 1-units I would accumulate... winnings by 2 (2,5 for BJ) and bettings by 1 when winning, bettings by 1 when loosing, (and both by 1 when player pushes?)

So, I have been writing a little primitive Blackjack simulator. I have been running simulations based on 6 decks, S17, D9, DAS, No Surrender, No Peek. I have only implemented basic strategy. In the graph below, the x-axis represents rounds simulated in millions. The y axis represents the player...

Would it be right to say that if you are playing with a replenishable roll, your ROR is irrelevant as long as it is lower than your chance to double up? And if so, is there sim software available that can calculate this?

Thanks dude... That is so freaking cool! :laugh:

Dude... You should try this. It totally supports no peak! http://www.hitorsplit.com/
