    Spanish 21 rules question

    According to "The Pros Guide to Spanish 21 and Australian Pontoon" by Katarina Walker, page 13, the answer is "yes". The 3 to 1 bonus for spaded 777 should also be paid. However, although the game rules are patented, this may not be honored at every casino. I would ask before the situation arises.

    Server Errors

    I can't remember if I ever got email notifications of new messages in conversations, but I'm not getting them now.

    Was still happening to me as of yesterday. Note that it happens only when posting to conversations and not when posting to the forum.

    Double Deck Deviations

    Thanks for buying the book, your kind words and thanks for your question. Just like for most other published indices, the precedence for applying indices to a pair is surrender, followed by split, followed by the other actions. In other words, if you can surrender and the count meets the index...

    re-double (triplete)

    Thanks Colin. It's been a while since we were in contact. I hope all is well with you! For those who don't know, the book Colin is referring to is The Hi-Lo Card Counting System: A Complete Guide to Index Play. It goes beyond the I18 and Fab4 for a wide variety of rule sets and bet spreads. See...

    Strategy changes when you can double down, with an option to do it again.

    See this thread https://www.blackjackinfo.com/community/threads/re-double-triplete.56066/ for information about a redouble game where you can only redouble for the amount of your original bet.

    re-double (triplete)

    Hi All. Sorry for the delay in posting but it has been a long time since I've looked at redoubling and I wanted to make sure that no new bugs had been introduced into my software with respect to that feature. I also made some improvements to my chart generator. In any case, I'm happy with my...

    re-double (triplete)

    I have experienced the issue of an error message indicating that posts to conversations have failed, even though the message ends up being successfully posted. I know I promised to post the strategy for this game. I have it but am just checking on a few things before I post.

    re-double (triplete)

    I saw the conversation, but since the questions were the same as you asked here and the information could be of interested to many, I decided to answer here. I'll be posting some strategies soon. Possibly tomorrow.

    re-double (triplete)

    As Colin said in the post you quoted, we analyzed a similar game years ago. The only difference appears to be that your game has full ES where the game we looked at was ES10. You would use the same basic strategy for this game, except you would use the proper ES ENHC strategy vs a dealer ace. I...

    Strategy changes when you can double down, with an option to do it again.

    For the second double, because you can only double or stand: The hands you re-double on are not the same as for the original double. For some hands, you want to re-double for as little as possible and you do not double at all if you can not do so below the critical fraction of the total amount...
