This is obviously a bit on the "never will happen" side-- but I've always wondered what kind of winnings THE most abosolutely perfect blackjack player would see. I mean, counting, basic strat-- it's all about guesstimating what the deck is kinda-like, and doing best-practicies moves.
But what if you had someone like Data from Star Trek. Basically, a computer with enough number crunching powers to be able to fully analyze a shoe at any given moment in real time.
In other words, your Data would be able to keep track not of a "count"-- but literally every card that has been dealt. He'd know EXACTLY which cards were reamining in the shoe, and would be able to generate a game dream after every deal/hit to figure out the exact best next move based on every hand he could have vs. every hand the dealer could have (or make).
If such a Data was allowed to play a standard game (S17, no surrender, 6 decks, 75% pen, DAS, 1 card to split aces, no replit aces, doube any), could Wong at will, was playing on a table that allowed $25-$2000 bets, and were allowed to spread his bets without being backed off-- what edge would he get? Is there any way to run a sim on this?
