Here's one for CVShuffle. Should be easy. You know the part where you get a card-to-card transform of a shuffle, that you can copy by hitting a button, and then paste into something else? How about automating that, where you can push a button and it will go through the shuffle a user-selected number of times, and write the output transforms to a .CSV file or something? It'll make it easy for those of us who like to wrote our own routines for CVShuffle output data.

I have version 3.0 of CVBJ so this might have been fixed in version 4.0

in playing a spanish 21 game with the strategy found on the the wizard of odds site or Katarina's Book, the number of card dependant strategies don't seem to work quite right...(this is withthe warning on strategy error turned on)

for example Dealer has a 8 as the up card. I'm dealt 8,8 I split according to strategy.. I get dealt a 9 on the first hand and stand.. on the second hand I get dealt a 2 for a total of 10 BS says D3 (double unless tyou have 3 or more cards then hit) so I hit the double button and the strategy warning buzzes at me... I think it's because it's counting all cards in front of me instead of just the cards in each hand separately...

not really too much of an issue since I just check my BS chart and double anyways knowing it's correct... just thought you might want to look at this.

maybe I'll upgrade to a newer version .. one day.

I'll add that to the CVShuf list. I have a bunch of requests for CVSH.

Probably OK in V4.

I apologize QFIT, its right there under unusual games. The scary thing is I use two of the other games and never noticed. I'm getting old!
No problem. I'm reorganizing that screen. Not sure whether it will be better of worse though.:)

1. Have you ever considered putting the lines on top of the colors, especially Zero? In the graph below, I would prefer the Zero line to be on top of the color. You could also add (vertical)hands played underneath the graph. Perhaps in 500 intervals.

2. I know you can speed up the insurance bet, but it would also be nice if there was an option to decline insurance.

3. Dont allow rebets on shuffle.

4. It would also be nice if it automatically stayed on H18 or higher, excluding XX&A9

5.Allow the user to input his bets, on the right click option. Or consider adding 0-100 in 10$ increments. But definitely add the 25$ denomination.

6. Rebet, with a double left click.

7. Your pop-up menus are a little sensitive. Your arrow key must be perfect or they will disappear.

8. Add a colorful chip tray:)

Sorry if this sounds, like Im complaining. Just tryin to give ya a few ideas.

Try the non-3D mode. Much easier to see. I'll look at an x-axis. A bit tough since the number of hands varies so much.

Three options. Type N, Hit Pass on the Control bar, or scrape the mouse horizontally as you would to Stand.

Options-Settings-Play Variations. Turn off "Allow bet change after shuffle."

Options-Settings-Play Variations. Turn on "Dealer makes obvious plays for you."

Hmm, that's Deal now and Rebet is the Rebet button on the control bar. Maybe I can make that an option.

Afraid I can't change that.

Thought about it. Space problem.

Always welcome.

speaking of the graphs being able to see just the last shoe results would be great if playing a marathon session.
Hmm, the Select menu allows you to limit charts to Current Trip, Session, User or a custom selection. Maybe I could add shoe and/or last shoe.

Howdy Norm... CVData: The side-bets need a % House Advantage readout. EV is nice, but we'd like to see what the HA is on that side-bet during count indexes.

Not sure if theres an update already, but CVData doesn't show an option for "Player BlackJack wins" which I think is common in Sp21 and 6:5 or 7:5 versions. The latter should be VERY close to the standard payoff and rules. This option is in CVBJ.

Since Vista was ARPITA, is there any chance for a Linux version? One of the 'Buntu's would be sufficient.

CVData requests

Norm, a few request for CVData (like everyone else, i love the current product but we always want more dont we :whip:):

1. have strategy tables/indices exportable to excel or csv instead of just printable
2. maybe this is just me, but when you generate reports/go to print out a strategy table, the few reverse indices (ie split when less than, etc) are not denoted at all, just an index shows up with no "*" or something like that to indicate that it is a reverse index number and someone reading the printed table will see the reverse indices look exactly like a regular index.
3. again maybe just me, but i never get the 8,8 vs 10 reverse index to generate properly in RA mode - im sure there must be some RA index to not split 8's v 10. in every RA case i've ever generated, it's always came up "never split 8's" without fail and i just dont believe if you are RA you should not split 8's. maybe im wrong here?
4. allow RA generation of index tables for all rule sets at the same time - currently when generating the usual EV-maximizing indices, you have the option at the lower right hand side to generate H17/S17, DAS/NoDAS, etc. However once you click the box to generate "Risk Averse" indices, all those options at the bottom right become unchecked and only the indices for the specific rule set specified are generated. I really just want to be able to "set it and forget" when generating RA indices to generate indices for all combinations of rules with one click, just like you can in EV-maximizing mode.

Thanks!

....
not sure if this would work for you in CVData and maybe you already know this. but anyway like for CVBJ you can tell your logs to print in html and then copy them from html and then paste into excel. it's a bit tedious but works ok.

gatherer for the time being you could port from your logs the hands of the last shoe to excell and then graph as desired.

cvbj suggestion

QFIT it would be cool in CVBJ if you could bet totally by keyboard only if desired. i know you can rebet by key stroke. thing is sometimes using the mouse to set bets after playing a lot your mouse hand gets fatiqued.
oh also could it be a way to use keystrokes with out having to press the ALT key? where i think sometimes you have to use the ALT key and others you don't?
also anyway to make cassie look like in this post?:devil:
