Thanks iTrackNCount!

Based on the following assumptions: TC = (rc + A) / (N – L) where N = q^2(d – k) / [(q – k)^2 + k(d – k)] r = -(N/q)[1 – (q – k)/(d – k)] and r = multiplier c = running count of slug A = normal running count (starting from zero off the top) N = constant number of pseudo decks in the...

Thanks for your comments everyone! RJT, can you explain why I must count a complete deck? I was getting good results just counting the first round of cards. The reason is they often plug very low. Is it ok just to count the first round as long as those cards are cut to the back? Also, why...

Hello everyone! I'm back again pleading for help!!! I am trying to get to grips with shuffle tracking, and decided it was much easier to "cut bad cards out of play" than to "cut good cards into play".. I will try to explain what I want to do, and wondered if someone could just confirm that my...

Thanks icountntrack. Can I also ask, say my hourly rate is 100 dollars an hour on one box. If I play 2 boxes, will my hourly rate be 200 dollars an hour? If I play 7 boxes will my hourly rate be 700 dollars am hour? If this is no the case can you give me a formula for working out hourly...

I am terribly sorry, I was very misleading in my original question. I am using this formula to work out the percentage I have to lower my bets if I want to play "n" number of boxes to keep the ROR the same as I was playing 1 box. Is that clearer? For example risk of ruin of a given BR is, say...

Anyone got any ideas? :grin:

Guys, your help would be greatly appreciated, I am using this forumla for working out RoR on two boxes: 1.32 / (1.32 + 0.48 * (n-1) ) My question is, are the "1.32" and "0.48" parts of the formula affected if you have the ESA (early surrender against ace) rule (european tables).. If...

Does anyone know how to calculate the percentage chance of losing "x" amount after "y" number of playing hours? Thanks in advance...

Any help would be greatly received . . . .

I am still struggling to work out optimal bet sizes to get the BEST risk/reward ratio in my game. Can someone tell me exactly what I need to know for each count (edge/variance etc.) and the forumla I need to use to get the best risk of ruin/hourly rate ratio and devise the best progression...

Thanks, guys!

Can anyone recommend any books that explain the ins-and-outs of Blackjack Maths to quite a high level... Things like ROR, variance, Co-Variance, effects of Pen, rule changes, Optimal Bet Theory.... etc.etc. Thanks...

I've solved this now.... Thanks to everyone for their help...

Sorry to be a pest, but I have another math question I am struggling to solve. Lets say I work out my optimal staking sizes for each count value for any given bankroll size using the Kelly Criterion for optimal long-term growth. If I want to play 2 boxes instead of 1, what forumla do I use to...
