I’m not a mathematician here; help me out: When you say the probability of the 6-consecutive losing streak is 1 in 47, you don’t mean every 47 hands you get a 6-hand losing streak. You mean each segment of six is multiplied by 47, right? That’s a 6-hand losing streak per 282 hands of play. And the 7-hand losing streak is 1 in 90, or a 7-consecutive loss per 630 hands of play. Is that correct?
It looks like the house edge for these calculations is 5.2%. What are the odds of losing 10 in a row with a blackjack game with rtp of 99.91%, or 0.09% house edge? I played a game with 99.91% rtp and lost 8 in a row after only playing 7 hands. I made $2 and lost $256. Is that statistically uncommon?
Furthermore, is the probability impacted if a player plays to win $1 on 100 different blackjack games, rather then playing to win $100 on one blackjack game.
These charts are great, Ken, but I was hoping to find something simpler. I want to know what percentage of blackjack hands are correct double downs using basic strategy in a 6-deck S17 game where you can double any two cards and double-after-split is allowed. Likewise, what percentage of hands are (correct) splits? I think the combined figure is around 11-12%, but I’m looking for a precise figure.
I just learned Flash was discontinued due to security issues so this will never work in flash again. Hopefully it can be uploaded in a different format!
Woah. I woulda went and grabbed a padded suit and locked myself in a completely accident free zone for at least a week of that happened to me. LOL couldn’t imagine losing 30 hands in a row. I’d be fighting somebody.
is this really true? How would a dealer know this information? maybe a pit boss, but a dealer? Where did this happen? (just curious). I will not be playing there. Also, was it a continuous shuffler or automatic shuffler?
Great school, great approach and presentation. Time to reawaken some
jouons
i do pretty good
Which casino is known for the highest player limit per hand, and/or “no limit” per hand?

SHITTY GAME DEALLER GOT 18 AND ABOVE 15 STRAIGHT HANDS TRASHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
This is helping me count!
why did the V2 trainer advise surrender w double 6s vs dealer ace?
I thought it was 6 and 4 on the 17 question, so i chose double but it was a hard 9 and the dealer showed 7. So it’s not a double and i know that
wish you would let us play on split aces like a casino does.
i feel robbed, it loses all the fun.

What is the mechanism for constructing this table? very interesting how it works from the point of view of mathematics
Lol this website is wrong. It doesn’t follow basic strategy
the game lets ya double twice if you click twice on ddouble LOL
I know I’ve used this before and want to use it again! I am trying on my desktop and it still doesn’t want to run.

I had 13 straight winners at the Hard Rock Tampa Casino once.
