Proper Insurance or just Even Money on Dealer Ace? EDIT: I know of two casinos that still employ that rule set, it isn't uncommon. (At least in my back yard...)

Trad Brit Rules: D9,10,11 Only. No Split 4s,5s & 10s. Another joint by myself have dropped this diabolical rule set, In favour of DOA, Split any pair, RSA, with seemingly no limit on how many hands you may split to. I recently split up to 5 hands. A sign of the smaller joints struggling...

I've started to view variance as an even more critical factor than EV itself. Variance is what can turn a winning game into a loser. Double Kelly exemplifies this perfectly.

Grant, A lot of information must be taken into consideration when working out advantage, E.V, SD etc.. I recommend going to Blackjackforumonline.com and downloading the 'powersim' software to evaluate your games. Unfotunately this software does not take into account the No Insurance rule...

You should of smashed his back windscreen in with a baseball bat and quoted 'God works in mysterious ways'

If I am playing heads up at a table minimum lower than my usual, I will spread to 7 hands in bad counts, flying through that shoe at minimum cost.

:laugh: :laugh: You just cant help yourself can you !

Tell me about it....

You really are spreading the 'Fractional Kelly' love at the moment aren't you Avenger?! :grin: Its true though, Fractional Kelly is about as awesome as it gets.

Thats what I meant, at a fixed amount its 1-2%, bad communication on my behalf. Obviously if he readjusts at intervals as I suggested he will enjoy a much lower RoR, as close to 0 as possible.

No Problems and 1-12 will be fine, If your using HILO try to make that max bet of 12u at a TC of 6 though to keep your ROR low.

Hiya Kebo, 1000 unit bankroll is an optimal choice. By spreading 1-10 you will be betting roughly 'half kelly' making your RoR about 1-2%. If you reassess your bets every swing of say 10% or so, you will increase optimal growth whilst still keeping a very low RoR. If you find it difficult...

1/4 Kelly? :rolleyes:
