I have a problem with my program (again) ;-P
It can do both mathematically exact calculations and simulations. The problem is I am not getting EV= -0.5% but i am get EV= -2.5%.
I am using following rules:
6 Deck, DAS, Split once only, One card to split aces, Dealer stand on S17, 3:2 Blackjack. Loose original bets only to a blackjack. No surrender. Double 9-11 hard only.
I am not sure I am computing EV correctly, how exactually is it calculated?
I am doing: EV = (won - lost) / (total bets made)
My program is doing:
((1.5*BJ) + (2*DoubleWin) + Win)) - ((2*DoubleLoss) + (Loss) + (Bust))
divided by:
BJ + (2*DoubleWin) + Win + (2*DoubleLoss) + (Loss) + (Bust) + (Push) + (DoublePush)
I can't see where the error is. My basic stategy that the program is following is:
Double 11 vs 10 or below
Double 10 vs 9 or below
Double 9 vs 6 - 3
Hit hard 16 or below against 7 or above
Hit hard 12 against 2 or 3
Hit soft 17 and below, hit soft 18 against 9 10 A
Splits:
2 against 7 or below
3 against 7 or below
4 against 5 or 6 only
5's never
6 against 6 or below
7 against 7 or below
8 always
9 against all except Ace Ten Seven
Tens never
Aces always
I was expecting these rules to be about 0.5% to 0.6% but im getting about 2.5%
