You're right @doghand. There'd be no reason to divide by 2. It would just make things more complicated. (I thought that because there were two suits per color that one would need to divide it by 2 in order to get more accurate. But it just makes it more complicated, so there is no reason to do...

I'm sorry for the late response. I just got back from a 2.5 week blackjack trip. The bets would be payed at a multiple.

So does one find variance between the hands lost vs the hands won, the hands lost vs the amount won, the amount lost vs the hands won, or the amount lost vs the amount won? I've found a goldmine of a side bet, but I think the variance could completely wipe it out as a possibility when...

So the applications of this would be rather limited I believe, and the execution of it might be impossible to do if one has a fast dealer, but if done correctly, I believe it could open up some AP possibilities for side bets and suited blackjack games. What if in addition to your regular...

I think this is my last question. When you said, "Correlation coefficient for two hands of blackjack can be assumed to be 0.5, with reasonable amount of accuracy. Finally, correlation coefficient, in this case, is covariance/variance, which would be about 0.375." Is the Correlation Coefficient...

Would it be okay to assume that your .5 Correlation coefficient will be relatively consistent no matter how many decks one is playing? Or what type of game one is playing (H17/S17)? Or is the correlation coefficient not based on the count system that one is using as I had come to believe with...

Alright, so long story short, I want to be able to figure out my Kelly (optimal) bet using the Simulation Tables in DS's Blackjack Attack when playing more than 1 hand. In order to figure that out, I need to figure out the Covarience, which (from reading Katarina Walker's book on Spanish 21) can...
