    Your Definition of a "Unit"

    Just to add, $10 - $200 spread in terms of units would be a 0.4 - 10 spread.

    Your Definition of a "Unit"

    Maybe I'm sliding towards error, but the definition of unit is not important so long as the terms remain consistent in calculations because it's the numbers that are of practical use rather than concepts; how would you simulate a concept? In the case of $10 min bet with $25 unit, the minimum...

    most important index's for play all

    Indices (TC freq)*(units @ correlating TC)*(|change in adv.|) is the way to figure out which indices are the most essential as far as I know.

    What's your N0?

    I have been in and out of the forum. I'm not 21 yet; I don't have any experience, and consequently lack any accurate information or even a single anecdotal datum to share with others aside from imagination - nobody would want that anyways! Besides, most questions in Card Counting could be...

    Risk of Ruin with tips (or something else)

    tipping Oh, I forgot to mention this. I'm by no means an expert in either behavioral psychology or BJ - and for that I'm grateful - but one thing to consider is which dealer behaviors are being reinforced. For instance, in terms of reinforcing a behavior, tipping regardless of what he/she...

    Risk of Ruin with tips (or something else)

    Fixed Expense The term fixed expense sounds to me like a misnomer. The nature of the expense sounds more like a *variable cost, and earning could have been more clear if the word profit was used. Also, I think we should consider the "Assuming the optimal betting: m = 2F" part. My best guess is...

    What's your N0?

    As I understand it, the phenomenon of data "entering" long-run in statistics refer to the mean of these data approaching closer to the estimated EV. In other words, he might have played one hand, but he might have had 5 initial units in front of him for the only round he played that ended up...

    Back-counting (Wonging) doesn't work.

    pen It would be beneficial to consider what penetration really means.

    if you sure next card is an Ace , how much u bet ?

    It would be interesting to compute the advantage of having an ace without the potential gain from DD and splits. Aside from non-stake-increasing strategy, I think what would work most "optimally" may be a sort of personalized CE with regard to how much, according to one's br, would cause a...

    if you sure next card is an Ace , how much u bet ?

    I think you might benefit from considering the fact that percentages are relative values. ex.) Losing 20% of br leaves the player 80% of the original br. Losing additional 20% of the post-loss br leaves this unfortunate player with 64% of the original br instead of 60% of the original br.
