Makes sense what you are saying that coupon could be worth more than 50%. But what makes it worth exactly 62.5%? Why not 55%, or 51%, or any other % greater than 50? Also, note that coupon does not pay 3:2 on BJ.

CV Update This is the update Norm put up to fix this. http://www.qfit.com/Update55137d.msi

Let's say I have 8 $25 chips (total $200) & 8 $25 match play coupons (value $100 at 50% of face value). Thus I start with total assets of $300. Then I play 8 hands, each with 1 $25 chip & 1 match play coupon. If I win 3 hands (37.5% win frequency), I wind up with $225 in chips & no match...

Thanks for the advice Flash. Since the Match Play coupon is basically worth half of its face value, shouldn't the win frequency you use for surrender be 33.3%? If so, it appears you should surrender 12 thru 17 vs 9, 10 or A, surrender 14 thru 17 v 8, surrender 15-16 v 7, and surrender 6 v 10.

Thanks. Can you let me know what betting ramp this reflects?

Yes. And isn't surrender 8,8 v A also BS for H17?

Question for QFIT-Possible Glitch in CV Demo Norm, I know you said you were taking a break from posting, but I thought you might be interested in this question. Is there a glitch in CV demo for H17, 7/8, DAS, LS, which appears to say to not late surrender 17 v A or 8,8 v A...

LL10 Payout Payout for LL10 is as follows: Q hearts pair w/ dealer BJ - 1000:1 Q hearts pair - 200:1 Matched 20 - 25:1 Suited 20 - 10:1 Any 20 - 4:1

OK. Thanks. I had been misreading this. So if I understand this now, PBJ is saying to late surrender 8,8 v A if TC is -5 thru +4. Thus at +5 or higher, 8,8 should be split vs A.

Can you explain why? Per BJA3, the SCORE for 4/6 S17, DAS, LS is 15.46, while the SCORE for 6/8 S17, DAS, LS is only 14.19, but this is before considering LL.

Right. Page 93 also has surrender 17 v A index at +2 or lower. It also has index for surrender 8,8 v A as 4*, but based on table on page 261, I think you ignore this if you can both buy insurance and surrender, and thus should surrender at -5 or higher. Do you read this the same way?

What index should be used to late surrender 17 vs A, and to surrender 8,8 vs A for H17, 7/8? According to Professional BJ, page 261, 17 should be surrendered against A at TC +2 or lower, and 8,8 should be surrendered vs A at TC of -5 or higher. I downloaded indices from demo of CV...

LL10. Using HiLo, play at TC +5.

Which is a better game? 8 deck with 2 decks cut off and Lucky Ladies, or 6 deck with 2 decks cut off and no LL. I realize both have lousy pen, but if you had to choose, which would you play? Rules are S17, DAS, LS, no RSA.
