Can someone calculate EV and ROR for me?

[itsedmondfoo]

Rules: H17, DAS, resplit up to 4 hands (only 2 hands for aces and only get 1 card for each ace), double down all hands, no surrender, 6 deck, 75% penetration.

Bankroll: $2000 (That might be too little, what should it be to minimize ROR?)
Spread: $5-$50

Using Hi-lo and illustrious 18 (not fab 4).

Whats my EV, hourly win rate, and ROR?

Thanks in advance.

You don’t mention your bet ramp, but if you are doing play-all then your EV is almost $6/hour and your RoR is around 53.84%. If you are Wonging at +1 then your EV should be just over $6/hour with RoR of 11.6%. Wonging at +2 will bring your RoR down to about 2% but your EV will fall to about $3.50/hour.

my ramp is:
TC +3 : $10
TC +4 : $15
TC +5 : $20
TC +6 : $25
TC +7 : $30
TC +8 : $35
TC +9 : $40
TC +10: $45
TC +11: $50

And what if i had a bankroll of $5000?

Thanks sonny.

my ramp is:
TC +3 : $10
TC +4 : $15
TC +5 : $20
TC +6 : $25
TC +7 : $30
TC +8 : $35
TC +9 : $40
TC +10: $45
TC +11: $50

The TC stands for Hi-Lo true count?

I'd argue you have a 1:5 spread there, not a 1:10 spread, since you'll too rarely see anything above +5. That will lower your EV and your variance.

shouldn't max bets come out MUCH sooner.
Like TC +5/6??

Thats amazing how much wonging can lower ROR. It really makes me want to never play a hand below +1. That is why I always am trying to get my buddies to count too on a team effort but they are all lame. Sonny, do you usually wong in at +1 and out at below +1 or do you feel the extra hands played while not spending all your time walking around is worth the higher ROR?

my ramp is:
TC +3 : $10
TC +4 : $15
TC +5 : $20
TC +6 : $25
TC +7 : $30
TC +8 : $35
TC +9 : $40
TC +10: $45
TC +11: $50

If you are Wonging then your max bet should be around +3 or +4. The bet ramp above is barely going to give you any advantage at all. If you are playing-all then your max bet should be around +5 or so. Either way you will need to use a much different betting strategy if you want to make any money...and even then you'll only be making $5-$10 per hour with a pretty high RoR.

There is a link to the Gamemaster's Online BJ School in the Free Resources thread that has some beginner's betting info.
