I live in the UK and play the UK blackjack, 6 decks, S17, DAS, Respilt all, DA2, no hole card.
One local casino offers a promotion called the joker. For 1 game only, you get 2-1 if you win and it applies to doubles, but only goes on the first hand after splits. You get 5-1 if for a blackjack win. The joker remains when there is a push. Corrections
I have only starting gambling and playing blackjack for 2 months. I am a slow counter, but I am getting a lot of money from it. The maximum stake on it is £25 and use the full amount at all times. Maximum 12 jokers a week per person, sometimes more if I use my friends'. I guess the potential maximum would be about 20.
I know I would always win in this game. If I can ace track and card counting at the same time, I would make a fortune. In the last 6 weeks, I made £1008 just from that and I wasnt using all the jokers I could have.
1st Q - My simple maths, everytime I play the joker I would gain £12.5 approximately, times 20 a week equals £250. However I dont know how to work out the Epected return after doubling, splitting and blackjack. Can someone help me?
One downside is that most of the time only the CSM table is open at the promotion times but it is still good enough. I then follow the basic strategy offered by wizard of odds.

One day I was hit with a 5,6 vs T, The chart tells me not to (I think it is because dealer BJ takes all not only the initial bet) but I did consider to double given the high payoffs but I did not. I want to know the maths.
2nd Q - I was thinking I should generate a new strategy. I have casino verite but I cant do much with it. Can anyone show me a chart or tell me how to work them out from 1st principles or with a software.
3rd Q - how do I calculate Ev, RoR, SD, etc.. for myself. What is SCORE?
