I have a crazy question, I play, ” blackjack professional simulator “, by pepperdogsoft.com on my iPhone it is set for six decks, das, h17, surrender and da2 and at rather large true counts it tell me to double hard 12 v a dealer 2 as an I18 suggestion, I have won that a couple of times, but in all my reading I can’t find anywhere else that is suggested, have you ever heard of such a thing.? I thought you should hit 12 v 2 until true 3. Thanks
I’m not familiar with that product, but I can tell you that if an app EVER says to double a hard 12, you should delete that app immediately!
The only time you should ever double hard 12 is if the dealer accidentally reveals the card you will receive and you know it is a 9!
Seriously, I would question the accuracy of anything else this app tells you. That’s a horrible mistake.
You are correct in hitting 12v2 until the true count reaches +3. At that point and above, stand. Never ever double.
(The index varies slightly in one-deck and some two-deck games.)
what is ment by rare hand like ( a 3 or 9 3 ) i am playing a game call hit or stand witch it grades you on the correct amount of hands that you get correct so far these two hands do not double this is a rare hand
I’m not sure why anyone would describe hands like (Ace,3) and (9,3) as “rare”. You will draw each of those hands about once every 169 hands or so.
As to whether or not to double, (9,3) is a hard 12 and should certainly never be doubled. (Ace,3) should be doubled vs dealer 5 & 6. (Also against a dealer 4 in some 1 and 2 deck games.) See the Motor de estrategia for accurate advice for any game.
How do you know when to increase betting when I play for five or ten bucks I win when I go up I lose? any help on staggering my betting to improve winning percentages.
There is no magic betting system of staggering your bets that can or will work. If you want to beat the game, learn to count cards. Then you can raise your bet when you know you have an advantage. If that doesn’t appeal to you, the cheapest way to play the game is to flat-bet the minimum.
I noticed an error when I was playing with the various combinations: I know that in a single-deck DAS H17 game with dealer peek it is correct to split 9s vs. an Ace (unlike other rule combinations where you should stand). However it shows that splitting is the right play even when changed to no-peek (which it’s obviously incorrect to split such a marginal hand with ENHC and a dealer’s Ace). (I don’t know if there are any games IRL with the single-deck DAS H17 ENHC rule combination, but since someone once pointed out an error with an even rarer rule combination with early surrender and splitting 8s vs. a Ten I thought I’d point out this one.)
Just to clarify – I hadn’t played your actual trainer game recently so I don’t know of any bugs there (and mis-phrased probably shouldn’t have that hyphen).
There is no need to “assign” a value to the Aces, and no need to choose the same value for multiple Aces. Treat them independently, and reassess after each drawn card changes the hand.
Here are some examples:
(Ace, Ace) = Soft 12 (2 or 12)
(Ace, Ace, 8) = Soft 20 (10 or 20) You should stand with 20, regardless of the dealer upcard.
(Ace, Ace, 4) = Soft 16 (6 or 16) You should hit this hand, regardless of dealer upcard.
(Ace, Ace, Ten) = Hard 12 You may hit or stand on this hand, depending on the dealer upcard.
(Ace, Ace, 4, 8) = Hard 14.
Note that these examples are bit contrived, because if your first two cards are Aces, you should split instead.

playing blackjack betting the minimum except always betting the amount you are behind (progressive loses) with the expectation the win will bring you back to zero lose each time. Is it practical you can win two hands often enough to have a net profit at the end of you day gambling?

Thanks, I knew I wasn’t crazy, I thought the same thing you said, I would only ever do it I absolutely and positively knew my next card was a 9.

Oh snap. Right you are. It only affected 1D,DAS,H17 (since that’s the only game where you should split 99vA in even a peek game!)
It’s resolved now. And for any readers, this issue wasn’t with the cards mentioned above, but instead on the Motor de estrategia. Here’s the affected 1D,DAS,H17,No-Peek game: https://www.blackjackinfo.com/blackjack-basic-strategy-engine/?numdecks=1&soft17=h17&dbl=all&das=yes&surr=ns&peek=no
I mis-phrased my original comment – it was the strategy engine, not the game.
Just to clarify – I hadn’t played your actual trainer game recently so I don’t know of any bugs there (and mis-phrased probably shouldn’t have that hyphen).
Regardless, thanks for the find. Good luck.
If I have two aces, can I count one as “1”, and the other one as “11”, making a total of 12 ? Or do I need to count them equally ?

Is this a record?.8 out of 8, 2016. One second, one spilt, two fifths, and four wins.
Pretty amazing run! Congrats!
