Because the expected value of the money you have at the end is higher if you don’t. Now if you were playing competently i.e. counting cards and upgrading “basic strategy” to “advanced strategy”, there are times when you would do this. Namely if the truecount is more than 2, double an 8 against a 6, and if truecount exceeds 4, double an 8 against a 5. And if truecount passes 6 double 8 against a 4. But basic strategy says to do none of these things because basic strategy is the set of decisions you should make when count is 0 which is what it is on average if you are not counting cards.
The chance you loose 6 in a row is 2.1%. The article then states this will occur 1/47 times. The 1 occurrence is a loss of 6 hands, meaning the other 46 times 6 hands were also played and you won at least 1 time those 6 hands. Meaning a total of 282 total hands of blackjack were played here and six losses in a row occurred 1 time. Giving you the odds 1/47. Now if you use a modified martingale and cap your self at 6 losses in a row with an original bet of 10 your 6th bet will be 320. Your min bank roll would have to be 710. Based on these odds you plan on loosing 710 dollars per ever 282 hands of blackjack you play. However In that 282 you will also win a lot. The min amount of times you can win in 282 is 46. 46×10=$410 $410-710=Net of -300 dollars. However the theoretical amount of times you win in 282 hands based off having 43.3% chance of winning each hand is $1,221. Net profit of 1,221-710= $511. In theory you should alway net more money in 282 hands even when you loose 6 in a row one time.
leave the hand up in the background when you show the stats at the end, please. especially in quick mode, the cards disappear too quickly to absorb what happened! otherwise, great job. love the strategy coach!
i noticed this is not a game for winning, however technique is the more important. The little number at the quit, which indicates the coach agree with you play is more important. WE ALWAY LOOK AT THE MONEY, AND NOT THE TECHNIQUE, THE USA WAY!!
Dealer had a 5 showing. Then turns over a 9. Then takes a 7. If the player hadn’t taken the 2, the dealer would have got the 2 and with a total of 16 have to hit again. The 7 would have busted the dealer in that case.
If they pay you back your double downs and splits when they draw a blackjack, you use standard basic strategy and deviations, as in doubling 11 against 10, splitting AA against A, splitting 8s against 10 and A, and doubling 11 against A at a true 1+ and doubling 10 against a 10 and A at a true 4+
If you’re playing by blackjack rules, you’re going to eventually lose. You’re winnings are the result of luck, not this strategy. This is the best trainer going for sure, but you’re eventually going to lose if you play by these strategies. If you could win simply playing these odds, the casinos would change the rules.
why not double down with a hard 8 against a 5 or 6?

Nah this is also what happens in the casino and is good practice
The average player is completely clueless about the rules, odds, and strategy. This has already taken over the strip.

Would it be possible to set the trainer so that we can play 2 hands aganst the dealer? I do this at casinos, and it makes it more fun!
Love the site! Been using it to prepare for Vegas trips for years.
i got 20/20. this website is 100% correct

Because you’re supposed to hit.
Hi. Actually … this would work. It’s just your belief system that is holding you back not the numbers.
If they pay you back your double downs and splits when they draw a blackjack, you use standard basic strategy and deviations, as in doubling 11 against 10, splitting AA against A, splitting 8s against 10 and A, and doubling 11 against A at a true 1+ and doubling 10 against a 10 and A at a true 4+
After splitting, you would treat the two separate cards as a new hand.

You are wrong. On soft 15 vs 3 you hit. You are thinking of a hard 15.
Switch to a new online provider… 😂 Lol
