Ken, you're a class act! Thanks for the good times, Ken. Thanks for all you've done for all us little people! You've given us a place to share, vent and revel in relative anonymity. Thanks for the memories! HockeXpert

That sure is a lot of "cover" you played.

You're assuming that you ARE going to get the ace. The dealer will get it 1 in 7 times putting all your hands at a large disadvantage (maybe 10% off the top of my head). Stick with Sucker's 2% advantage on each hand in the first round and see if it's worth it. It sounds like he has a better...

On a modern DD shuffle? PM welcomed!:grin:

Don't get me wrong, I like the idea and I hear you about the power of a first card A (52%) but it's all the other bets that offset that +EV. You play all the other hands at a small HE but add the loss of the A and it's greater than you think. A better betting pattern like reducing your bet or...

My guess is -EV. With only one ace guaranteed in the first 14 cards, you'll have 5 hands at a disadvantage IF the dealer doesn't get the A and 6 at a disadvantage if the dealer does get the A which will occur 1 in 7 times. You're also at -EV the other 20% of the time went you CAN'T cut the A...

You learn something every day. Thanks 21!

"Monkey" is a misquote/mispronunciation by Asians of the word "Monarchy".

Because he would take the dealer's bust card:laugh:

All hands are played independent of each other. EV is +10.5 if you hit and -1.5 if you stand at a pretty high tc.

This month's Game Protection newsletter "View from the Catwalk" has a humorous poll in it. They need a cartoon of a pc sweating a red chipper while a guy is killing a game betting purple to accompany the poll...

That machine is a continuous shuffle machine. Look for tables that DON'T have those shuffle machines.

Read post #15 above. I admit it is cheating but, as you pointed out, it can't be proved. I was not being sarcastic. I was being sincere. That was a clever analogy you used. That's the trouble with email and forums. People often assume others are being nasty because the reader can't hear the...

You better return all those mispays you have collected over the years.:eek:
