really! Before I asked about this I thought backlining was not a good thing, I thought you couldn't make any decisions at all.... But now... Do you get paid 3:2 on a backline bet if the hand is a blackjack?

to all those whom are interested in reading the article: click on TOOLS / INTERNET OPTIONS then go the the SECURITY thing at the top of the pop-up, then go down and click on CUSTOM LEVEL then scroll down untill you see SCRIPTING (it may be all the way at the bottom). The in the...

Hi, I've wanted to do some research on backbetting for a while but I don't even know if it's worth it. You know when you have the possibility of standing behind people playing and betting behind their bets... I know it's not usually a good thing to bet like that because (even if the player was...

Nice spreadsheat, I'd like to be able to use it without a simulator though. HAHA! I just don't understand why I should speed 100$ to run a simulation that gives me #'s that I will then never change? I mean, I see from Safefr0g's TC statistics that the advantages truely don't evolve in a linear...

This is a longshot, I'd like to know if its possible to find a risk multiplyer using the kelly formula. Why? Well I know that if you take a 100$ bet and split it in 2 to bet 50$ on each of 2 hands, your Risk is lowered and the EV is the same (not taking into account the card depletion rate). So...

I find this side of blackjack very interesting. The dealer's "bust card" is the biggest myth in blackjack but still, I have talked about this with someone that has played a lot of blackjack in their lifes, you will always have people that beleive in the dealer's bust card myth and some who...

thanks a lot for validating these results for me Well I said 2 hands with 5 other people cuse I thought there was only 7 available spots to play from at the table (2+5). Does that mean you could actually fit 8 hands somewhere on a standard blackjack table?

Picture it this way, instead of looking at the shoe as a bunch of cards in a certain order, look at it as 1 card (the next card coming out) and the odds that any card may be the next card are all equal (just think of the cards as a peice of carton paper). So if a ploppy decides to take a card...

good morning everyone! So I finished the calculations last night, but I didn't take time to explain the theory behind what I did for those of you who want to know without reading all the equations... So it was fairly simple. First thing I assumed is that there was a number of hands "x" left...

Math deductions and draft for all the calculations Kelly formula for the optimal bet when in an advantage situation: bet = bankroll x edge / variance With this formula, we can find the optimal bet for 1, 2, or 3 hands. Spreading to more than 1 hand will not increase the Risk as long as...

Hello everyone! Just spent 3 hours finishing this new chart, so I'm going to make a brief intro, then I'll just post the formula, and in the first reply after, I'll post all my math deductions for those who want to debate this or verify if my calculations are true or not. Although please don't...

ok, I got it, the trick was to place the # 2.7 in a google search, it came up with a couple of posts around the web, and they mostly all said that on average, its 2.7 both for the dealer and the player, that's one thing less I have to fin... thanks for the help guys! the one goes out to Sunny...

And on top on this, the # can change with the TABLE RULES!@#*(!#&(

I'm not too sure about this... Pretend you are in a situation where where you want to keep your same EV but wanted to MINIMIZE THE RISK factor without changing the size of your bankroll or unit bet. I could very well tell you exact percentage of the 1 hand bet to place to minimize the risk while...

So what is the good number? is it 2.7 for the dealer and 2.8 for each player? Sunny: the 2.7 vs 2.7 from blackjack attact, does that take into account the splits? I have another thread about this... Someone in the topic I started specificly to find this # (Subject: "For those of you with...
