This happened mostly because the creator of this website Ken Smith had given up blackjack for more profitable endeavors.

I just googled it for you. Comps are complimentary items and services given out by casinos to encourage players to gamble.

I trust Gronbog. Although I responded to OP, I do not endorse KO by any means.

In my opinion, you can just use IRC=0, to simplify everything up. To answer your another question: Recently, this part has been intensively advocated by Blackjack Rebel. If you use IRC=0, you should drastically jump your bet spread when the counts are +23/+24/+25/+26/+27, because the EV...

Well, I post here because I want to communicate to my buddy Gronbog. Happy New Year to you and everyone!

I’m not a writer, but I’d say a broken clock could easily be right three times a day.

Actually, I looked more closely at the Wizard strategy table for tripling and found a typo there. For the 6-deck Hit-17 game, the hand 8 vs 5 should not be tripling but the hand 8 vs 6 should be tripling.

It’s just because dealer busts less in 8 vs 5. Splitting always has priority over doubling, so split 4,4 vs 6.

The hand 9 vs 2 is tripling but 8 vs 5 is not.

It's a gambling website, so it is blocked for you. Just use the above Gronbog quadrupling table for tripling, except these four hands: 9 vs 7, A,9 vs 2, A,T vs, 2, and A,T vs 3.

I’m glad you finally agree with me. I just looked up these numbers. The Standing EV=1.5, Tripling EV=1.0047645. Gronbog is my one and sole reliable blackjack referee!

I just read Wizard “Triple up 21” page and found a problem there. Quote “It is not a typo that the player should triple down on a blackjack, against a dealer six, in the six-deck game.” I believe this statement does not sound correct. Based on my easy math, the player should not triple down...

I just read this thread and found some people were confusing tripling down and re-doubling. Everything has been posted above, so I don’t think there is any math in this.

As said above, it just sounds good on paper, but not in casinos. To convince yourself, try to calculate how much you can make an hour playing your strategy.

Please wait for a few days.
