The more precise quote is: Even a stopped clock is right twice a day. Don

It's easy to see from the BJA3 charts in the appendix. I wrote to Mike. Don

Incredible as it might sound, you actually appear to be right. :) Don

Incidentally, from a risk-averse perspective, you would surely take the even money. A certain 100% is surely more attractive than a risky 100.48%. If I offered to give you $10,000 free and clear, for certain, or $10,048 if you drew a red ball out of a hat that had two reds and one black in it...

Really sorry, but you're both wrong. You didn't read the rules of Triple Up 21. Rule #3 is : Blackjack pays even money. Good piece of advice: no one is infallible, and we all make mistakes. But, when you decide to say that a legend has made a mistake, be REALLY sure that you're right first. :)...

That's a very interesting question that I'm quite sure has never been studied. It could make for some interesting research, and I know the person to do it. But, it might take a while. Don

I'll take your word for it, but I've never heard of playing for high stakes, with a 1-60 spread, and not attracting attention. Don

I've played RPC my whole life. But CAC2 is even more powerful. It's a great new system. As for your 1-60 spread, the system won't matter; you're going to get tossed everywhere. Is that what you want? Don

Forget all about those internet frauds. They have no basis in reality. Don

The answer might vary. What were the circumstances? Did they bar you after killing the hand? Don

Not yet! More issues! 1. Please do something with the green bar that tells you if you were correct or not. It covers the player's hit cards and doesn't allow you to make the next decision until it disappears from the screen. It's very annoying. Put it off to the side somewhere where it doesn't...

First, please don't purport to tell me what's complicated and what isn't. I understand a little about this! "Average game, with average rules, and a normal betting ramp [whatever that means]" will get you ridiculously wide estimates. You don't even supply the count, the number of indices you're...

Not possible to answer your question without rules and bet spread. Ask a specific question, not a general one. Don

No, it's worse EV, because it uses up more cards for the same EV. If you spread to two hands, in order to keep the same ROR as for one hand, you have to bet approximately 75% of the one-hand wager on each of the two hands. So, if you were to bet $400 on one hand, you ought to bet two hands of...

Sorry, one more problem. Just got 15 vs. T. There is no choice in the blue boxes below for surrender. So, you have to reprogram so that when surrender is chosen for the BS chart, you offer that as an option for all potential surrenders (not just the right ones!). Don
