If you already use deviations for your system, why would you need this? Don

That's the point. Almost 40 years ago (!), when I developed the Illustrious 18, the whole point was to explain to people that 18 indices can capture up to as much as 90% of all the gain available from learning, say, 150 indices. To the casual player, that was more than enough! Don

Just simulate both ways and see if there's a big enough difference (there won't be) to make learning all the indices worth your while. Don

There are live dealers, usually dealing in slow motion from eight-deck shoes with 50% cuts. They get paid like any dealers: three shifts, 24/7. As for the honesty, you take your chances with anything online. Don

Why would you write such unfathomable drivel? Don

Are you trying to win money or just get rated and get some comps? You aren't going to win anything meaningful playing against a shoe and spreading 1-5. As Rebecca asked, you need to be much more specific. What are the precise rules of the game? At what K-O counts do you make each bet? How many...

The dealer checks the hole card. He/she doesn't have a natural. You now may surrender any holding you have. You say, Surrender, and the dealer takes away your cards along with half of your bet. Done. Don

Yup, that's Ken: single-handed destroyer of the entire city of Las Vegas. Sigh. Don

Sigh. Don

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...
