Hand Win/Loss %

I'm looking for the Win/Loss% for a players hand vs. dealer's upcard in a 2-deck game. I found the "Expectation of Standing - Expectation of Drawing" for single deck from Epstein's "Theory of Gambling...", but I was hoping to find the W/L% for various numbers of decks (including splitting and doubling). Does anyone know if this is in a book (Braun maybe?), or what software I could use to figure this out? I'm afraid Epstein used a few too many "funny symbols" for me to recreate his calculations.

Thanks in advance.

Re: Hand Win/Loss % *LINK*

Sonny,

Blackjack Audit from www.deepnettech.com does everything you're looking for. Every sim you run with it outputs the hand statistics for whatever table conditions, count and betting systems you program in.

You must already have their Blackjack Counter software to use it, however, or buy both, of course.

Along with simulation summary statistics it gives you the following stats on individual hands: frequency, W/L Rate, expectation, # of hands, % of index plays, % Won, %Lost, %Pushed.

It's also quite fast, even on my older machine (P3 933, 256Mb RAM).

HTH. Link below.

Answer to my question *LINK*

Thanks for the good answers everybody. Luckily I was able to find Cacarulo's charts of the EV for every hand in various conditions. They're exactly what I was looking for, and they're FREE!

Also, had I been near my computer at home, I could have used BeeJack to calculate each hand, but I knew that so many other people have done this before me that it must be out there somewhere!
