    Question about advantage of first player's card vs dealer's up card

    Thank you Don! This is exactly the info I was looking for. I have BJA but not BJA3, so I just ordered it from LVA. Gave me a good excuse to get Radical Blackjack while I was at it. Thanks again! 0

    Question about advantage of first player's card vs dealer's up card

    Encountered an unusual situation over the weekend. Guy at the table was finished for the night and was ready to leave. Instead of coloring up, he took his entire stack and bet it (double or nothing I guess). He then proceeded to get dealt two aces. Dealer had an 8. I think if I'd offered to...

    Started questioning does the card counting really work

    It would be good practice for you to go through the text file and verify the correct playing decisions are being made. I found 2 problems in just the first 10 rounds. Round 3: The player stood with a 16 vs a dealer 7. Round 9: The player stood with a soft 16 vs a dealer 4. I don't think you have...

    Started questioning does the card counting really work

    I've also found a bug with tracking bets/bankroll during splits (or perhaps just multiple splits, or perhaps just splits when there's a double down, or perhaps just multiple splits when there's a double down). If you look at round 196 in that same file, the player split to 4 hands of...

    Started questioning does the card counting really work

    I'm still looking so I don't know if this is the only problem, but I can see you're not handling soft hands correctly. This is from Deviation_no_1000 trials (1).txt so it should just be using basic strategy: ################## Round 92 ###################### Player 1 is betting 10 Dealer's...

    Started questioning does the card counting really work

    Others (like me) might be more willing to assist you if you placed the code and other files some place where they can be accessed anonymously instead of google colab/drive where a google account is required and everything is tracked and logged. 0

    6:5 DD at Hollywood Charles Town

    I noticed Hollywood had a 6:5 double deck game over in the Asian games pit last Friday night. $50 min, NMSE, and H17. Not sure if it's open on weeknights or during the day or if the minimum changes during those times if it is. 0

    Xengrifter banned??????

    Wait, who are we talking about? Zengrifter or Xengrifter? Because Zengrifter has been banned for a long time now. Xengrifter was also and only recently banned. However, I would not say that either was a mistake. 0

    Montreal?

    I was there just over a year ago (November 2018) so some of this info may be out of date. You can exchange your USD for CAD inside the casino. The exchange rate was slightly better than the Bureau de Change. Hang on to your exchange receipt. When you're done, you can exchange back at the same...
