Thank you! Glad to help.
I don't know much about the KO system, but the EORs for each rank are the same regardless of the count system being used, so off the top of my head I would imagine you...
Three boxes add up to 65%. A sequencer would know what that 65% represents.
For example, if he performs a single riffle shuffle and tries to catch an Ace, he might bet on three boxes.
To learn...
Use a one-sided statistical significance test with ? = 0.01 (not 0.05, since allegations of casino cheating are very serious and, at least in Western countries, highly unlikely), X = -80 (your net...
Hope you are not acting dumb but isn’t that obvious?
Like at very basic if it is two cards you know dealer did not bust and if you have 12 you MUST hit. Or at advanced Stage you know if dealer had...
I don't quite understand the OP, but from what I gathered that the dealer just plays his hand while showing only one card, before the player plays his. If this is true, the advantage can be large....
That's exactly how I thought of the problem as well. The prior probabilities and the sample space are well-defined, as is the function that maps events "1st", "2nd", "3rd", and "more than 3rd" to...
Thinking about it, you're absolutely right. I hadn't considered it that way. By the way, the basic strategy would be enormous. For each dealer upcard, you would have to design
a strategy for each...
Let me guess:
OP wants to change the order of players/dealer hitting in his program.
That brings up the "more tens used to finish a hand" problem.
Normal procedure: player hits the first card...
If number of dealer cards remain unknown there would be no influence. However, if number of cards is known that could limit possible dealer hands.
For example if dealer hand consists of 2 cards and...
Maybe the confusion arises from how the problem is presented. I believe the ideal way is to view it in its "complete" form,
for which we could assume the following distribution of probabilities:...
No sure what you mean by "does not show EV for surrender" ? EV for surrendering is always -50%
The best reference for EV at different counts for all hands is: THE HI-LO CARD COUNTING SYSTEM: A...
I appreciate your response. I am playing at low stakes 10 or 15 min, but that is what I need to do to keep for now to keep ROR under 1.5% with my bankroll.
What is a good reference for...
You should order The Hi-Lo Card Counting System: A Complete Guide to Index Play by Don Schlesinger and Dave Brolley.
This is the most recent and complete study on Hi-Lo index play.
That overstates things a little. Blackjack is approximately equivalent to a game with 1.3 to 1 payoff so there's more variance there than an even-money coin-flip type game. That's just assuming...
