and extreme question based on W’s info and coroborating info found on the Internet and my simultated the player is holding a hard 14. If the dealer up-card is a 5, the dealers bust out rate would be 41.841% inferring the dealers success rate would be 60.590%. By standing we accept the dealers bust rate of 41.841% as our success rate, however, based on the above charts i would hit the 14 a minimum 44.068% of making my hand. 44.068% SUCCESS rate is greater than 41.841% offered by conventional wisdom. Am I missing something if so what or have we all been successfully conditioned to lose by the man.
i pulled 1, 2 and 3 from the respective websites and 3 came from this forum:KenSmith my data came from my personal simulator. i hope the above makes sense
You will also frequently hit and not bust, but still lose to a better dealer hand. Your question appears to assume that if you don’t bust, you’ll win the hand. No, you might win, you might lose, and you might push.
By the way, I’m checking in here less and less frequently since I am no longer associated with the site. I recommend that you take your questions to the forums if you want a better chance of getting a response.
Hmm it seems like your blog ate my first comment (it was extremely long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I wrote and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog. I too am an aspiring blog blogger but I’m still new to the whole thing.
Do you have any tips and hints for newbie blog writers? I’d definitely appreciate it.

Was flagged at the Borgata almost ten years ago & then Caesars. To this day I have played in most major venues & have not been escorted out. Although there are “lists” all over the country, some casinos are not as “tight” as others. Perfect example would be the Tribal casinos in CT. I spent 9 months in one of them going through the paces & took them for 250K. On top of that their comps at the time were great. I knew there were times when I was being run down, so I just took it easy. Aside from the discipline of tracking, you should always consider unit betting which will help disguise your edge.
no, if the player has over 21 he/she has busted their hand resulting in a loss. The dealer must pick up ones chip if they bust (making over 21). In your case hitting 15 and catching an ace gives you 16 which is not over 21. The goal playing blackjack is to not bust your hand but to get close to 21 as possible. Your odds on busting 16 is greater as you only have 16% chance of catching your cards. This also depends on how many high cards have been played. The more high cards played makes your odds better of making a better. 16 in blackjack in usually a surrender hand but some casinos don’t allow surrender. In this case your better bet is to stay or hit.
kind of on topic
