What software run blackjack test

#1
Do you recommend any software to test basic strategy ?

1. Set the dealer face card and player first 2 card on any condition
to test basic strategy and random generate dealer face card and 7 players
different strategy run 10000 hands to test what is best.
2. Put high-low card count in player bet, contribution to overall player's
edge after run it.
3. How much the software cost or do you know any software for free on
internet ?

Thanks CJJSSC :)

Blackjack Attack is a book not software for people to test , as :

I usually run two billion. But, this is not enough to test a single index via normal simulation. I think I ran 20 billion for each of the Blackjack Attack sims, and the CVCX sims.

It is a rhetorical question not expecting any answer. The OP just came to promote his "teaching-Chinese-Blackjack" web site.

my live blackjack

I had my Active Perl vesion prgram ran 200000 time on my local PC.
The Souce code just let people know how inside the code it may not
fast on web because the respond time between PC and Web Host.
I had my mainframe program ran 2000000000 time 20 years ago.
QIT you my be blackjack attack 3 salsman but may not be a programer.
There is a software cost about $100 run on your PC but never had any open
source.
This is my live expirence how I go thru as my live blackjack

Casino denies me the right to play Blackjack

I was a software engineer working @ National Semiconductor
I was a VIP and had a credit account at RENO MGM Casino.
I can mark down several thousand dollars at a blackjack table with a signature.
MGM Casino mails me coupons for a free room every year.
I read the book “Beat the Dealer” and the table “Basic Strategy"
I asked myself, “How do I know that the “Basic Strategy” works?
I wrote my first version of “Blackjack Simulator” with the computer language COBOL
The simulator tested millions of hands at my company’s mainframe computer
I was lucky I was not found out and fired by my company.
I like the single deck with split double down any 2 cards.
I count Aces and bet very high if Aces never show.
I side bet a good tip for the dealer hoping the dealer does not reshufffles
but if dealer reshuffles, I will remove the tip.
I hide $100 chips under $5 chips so the dealer does not suspect
I am counting cards and reshuffles.
A casino manager talked to me on the side privately.
“You cannot play blackjack, but we welcome you to play anything else"
“Why?” I asked.
“I do not know why, my manager told me so, this is my business card,
I played on another table about 20 minutes the next day.
A manager said to me with an angry face,
“Is your name XXX, did we tell you not to play?”
I called Better Business Bureau about this.
They said, “Casino has the right to refuse you to play”.
I do not want to play single deck with a double on 10 or 11 only.
MGM has one table that plays by the rule I want.
I flew to Frontier Casino in Las Vegas.
This casino gave me a special chip for blackjack and 20 special chips
Not only did I have a free room but 70 chips I did not know what to do it?
I was waiting for an airplane with luggage at the blackjack table to jump
back to San Jose by air.
My wife said, “I am sick of you playing blackjack crazy like this".
I found myself having a gambling addiction not from losing but from winning
I was playing blackjack on a Thanksgiving night.
I prayed in my heart with eyes open at the table,
“Dear God please help me quit this. I am a bad Christian.”
I gave a testimony during Sunday worship at Home of Christ in Fremont
about how I was struggled with a gambling dictation.
I saw tears in my wife eyes when the church choir team stood up to sing.
This is what happened to me.
I do not want to make a story like the movie “21.”
I quit blackjack about 10 years ago.
What made me start playing again is the next chapter of the story.
If there is no interest, I will stop here.
I wrote Blackjack Simulator / Analyst both on PC Active Perl and Internet
on my personal website.
The software on PC Active Perl played 100,000,000 hands
but the internet took a long response time so I only set it to 100,000
It proved Basic strategy and high-low card count on both software.
I went to casino 3 times per week with as a retiree and how I can count
Dealers know me and call me “$5 Table Champ” or “Professional Player
My highest bet is only up to $25 to keep a low profile.
Most of the time I am winning and not by luck.
I haven’t been kicked out of the casino yet.
I am twice champion on Blackjack Tournament.
I do not want to show my member card on the table
because I do not want the casino to monitor me and how I am playing.
I will write more details only you are interested to know more.
My topic is, “How to make money as a retiree playing blackjack.”

If you want to question QFIT's (or QIT as you refer to him) programming ability, you might want to take a look at his website

If your 'simulator' showed different results to his, I know who's results I would rely on.

cjjssc has repeatedly posted the same stuff. Warnings issued. Two or three copies of this nonsense is already more than enough. :)

Since cjjssc joined our club in 2008, it is likely that he believes in that his program could help people and he is overenthusiastic about it. Also his claim that his web site is nonprofitable is probably true. So cut him some slacks, my Lord. :joker:

Understood. As long as he doesn't post the same stuff repeatedly (as he did last time, and the moderators cleaned it all up), he's welcome to discuss his ideas.

I wrote my own software (I used to work at Microsoft in the late 1990s and was a computer consultant in the Bay Area until 2003. I've been retired from high tech for 7 years) so my skills are more up to date than COBOL. I use Microsoft VBA in Excel, which has a great engine for analysis. I have not evaluated other software since I prefer to do it myself so I can splice and dice the data anyway I want. I do make sure to tie my results back to theoretical models so I know it's processing correctly. For example, if I'm processing for a DD game with -.36% house edge (that's the game I normally play) I will run a flat betting scenario for at least 500,000 hands and make sure I get very close to -.36%. I spend lots of time analyzing the results of my SIMS. It's made my real life play so much more powerful and disciplined. I've averaged of 80% wins in my sessions for the past 400 hours because of what I've learned from the SIMS. Playing at a table with 2 people is SIGNIFICANTLY better than playing at a table with 4 people. When a 4th person sits down at my table I just get up and leave. I don't bother playing because I know what it does to my win rate.

To answer your question my software can be configured to use any kind of strategy, basic or otherwise. I've been able to refine my indexes because I know what the optimum strategy is for each type of hand. For example, I pretty much never split 2's against dealer 2,3, and 4 because it's just not profitable and a waste of time to do so. Splitting 10s even against dealer 6 is also less profitable than standing. Most counters don't know this.

If you have a particular test you want to run, just PM me and I'll see if I can give you the answer. Chances are, I already have the answer in my database.

Here's another tip I've learned from my SIMS. Play a good DD game and don't bother with the 6 or 8 Deck games. Jumping your bets more to overcome the challenges of the shoe games is a big mistake. The downswings are nasty and can take 800 hours to recover from! IMHO.....
