Face-up Blackjack

[BJFan]

If we could play a "face-up blackjack" in a way that I could always know what card is coming, what's the player advantage assuming heads-up and flat betting?

About 13% if you know the dealer's cards. Don't know about knowing your next card.

Are you kidding me? Why would you not want know your next card?!

It would be stupidly ginormously profitable, you dont even need to ask this question.

You could bankrupt the casino in a few hours

It's just for curiosity, I know this will never happen.

CVData has the ability to generate 'Next card' strategies. There is also a chapter on this in Modern Blackjack Volume II Second Edition.

Heads up, one hand; your advantage is about 20%. But the edge goes up to about 35% if you employ a 3-man team - the "set-up" man who feeds the proper card to the BP; the BP; and most importantly, the "anchor" on 3b.

I know this will never happen.

Happens MUCH more often than you might think.

Couldn't happen in any of the larger clubs. They would take appropriate countermeasures LONG before that point. In the small clubs - maybe. But even THEN it takes a while. Took JF about two weeks to close down a certain casino in Tonopah. :eyepatch: And we never COULD bankrupt the Hideaway, even though there must have been 10 teams working the place. :eyepatch:
