If a single deck game with good penetration with these rules:

H17 with a 1:4 spread using High Low and the Ill 18

gives you an EV of 1.3%, a SCORE of 88.41, with a minimum number of hands
to realize this of 11,280, see (Dead link: http://www.bjstats.com/bjre.asp)

then what would be the score and EV for the same game with no pene with a 100% buy in bonus (ie you buy in for 100 and the casino gives you another 100 to play with) and you have to play 800 hands to keep whats left?

800 hands of $2 or $1600. I'm not sure SCORE will work with this, like using a fork to measure two teaspoons of sugar. ;>

... what the SCORE/DI would be, but it certainly is NOT necessary to play 800 hands if $1600 is the action requirement - why not play 160hands @ $10 and incur a higher variance (less time consuming)? zg

Re: Math Quiz DUNNO...

Yes, the higher variance is okay fine for most players, but some newbies don't understand this. Time is everything, and that is why for the most part now I bet it all on the first hand and that cuts my play time down significantly. I'll have to brush up on SCORE again. Thanks G for your comments. We are more players than mathnerds. ;>
