Ok I know SD is bad because of the 6:5 payout for BJ.
In a billion round sim no matter what spread I use I can't beat the game because of the poor payout on BJs. E.g. the ev is about $26 per 100 rounds (with 3:2 BJs) but with an avg bet of $35 one gives up $52.5 per 100 rounds on the 6:5 payout for a net of -$17.50 per 100 rounds.
But, in practice rounds, I'm crushing this game like nobody's business with only a 3x spread. I never beat the game this bad when I practice 6D or 2D. Even though the practice software doesn't allow 6:5 payouts I've monitored the BJs and taking into consideration the lower payoff I'd still be crushing the game.
Just freak variance or what??
