Canceler: I get what you're saying and i think i may have overlooked this (rather silly of me:o) in my calculation of double down EV. Am i correct in thinking that as you will win twice as much, the wins should be weighted twice as much as the lose in the calculation? I'm still thinking my...

KenSmith thank you very much - that was very helpful. I had almost that but some of my logic was slightly wrong! I've implemented it along the lines you suggest now, however it still appears to be resulting it hitting always being more favourable than doubling. I'm wondering if there might be...

Thanks for your reply KenSmith. The code i have written is recursive, it keeps hitting until the current stand EV (after any number of hits) is greater than the EV after hitting the next card. Can you explain to me what you mean by "the end of the chain"? As it is where the calculation...

Thanks Canceler. I wasn't expecting it to be easy! Is there any way to get sufficient results quickly for the purposes of giving real time advice alongside a game, rather than completly accurate for all possibly actions. Something i'm thinking is: Take the hand, work out the EV of...

Hi, I've bought the book The Theory of Blackjack by Peter Griffin and have managed to work out and code a solution to calculate the probabilities for: - Dealer outcome - Stand EV - Double EV I'm having trouble working out how to go about the hit and split probabilites as i can't work...

Thanks for your reply Sonny. Thats looks like exactly what I want to do. If The Theory of Blackjack by Peter Griffin explains how to calculate these numbers then I will buy it and proceed from there.

Hi, I'm currently trying to build a Blackjack game and would like to be able to calculate what the best option to take in a given situation is. I have used information at http://probability.infarom.ro/blackjack.html in order to calculate a probability of bettering your hand if you take...
