La strategia di base si applica alle combo di 2 carte dopo averle divise? Ad esempio, dividere un 8 contro un 4 del mazziere, ottenere un 2, raddoppiare o colpire? Ho scoperto che queste situazioni sono più una trappola che una strategia vincente, perché se vi capita di aver accumulato la vostra puntata, poi dovete splittare e raddoppiare magari due o anche tre volte, finite per rischiare e spesso perdere l'intera vincita e finite per perdere. Qualcuno può aiutarci?
Assolutamente sì. Sì, queste mani possono fare la differenza tra l'intera sessione e il resto, perché si possono ottenere fino a 8 puntate con le regole più comuni. (Sono tre split e quattro doppi!).
Quando la strategia di base dice di raddoppiare, è perché il raddoppio è più redditizio del semplice colpire. Non rinunciate a queste opportunità extra per trarne vantaggio.
Certo, a volte le cose non vanno per il verso giusto, ma quanto è bello quando si fanno diverse puntate sul tavolo e il banco sballa.
Ciao Grazie per tutte le informazioni. In Asia, la maggior parte dei casinò utilizza macchine a mescolamento continuo, a 5 o 6 mazzi. Ti chiedo: c'è qualche cambiamento nella strategia di base? (rispetto alle scarpe a 6 mazzi).

Ciao KenSmith I have bust rate for dealer up cards from A to 10, but can’t find the bust rate for player hard 12 to 16 when hit for another cards.please give me the information.I am a basic strategy player. Thank you.
It’s pretty easy to calculate these, especially if you’re willing to accept almost-accurate numbers from an infinite deck approximation.
If you hit hard 16 and plan to stand at 17 or more, then you’ll take only one card. Five of the possible 13 card values will improve your hand, so you’ll bust the other 8/13 of the time. p(bust 16) = 8/13 = 61.5%
If you have hard 15, there are now two possibilities… You’ll bust immediately 7/13 of the time. 1/13 of the time you’ll draw an Ace for hard 16, and hit again. p(bust 15) = 7/13 + (1/13 * 8/13) = 58.6%
You can do the same thing for the other starting hands. The results? p(Bust 16) = 61.5% p(Bust 15) = 58.6% p(Bust 14) = 55.0% p(Bust 13) = 50.9% p(Bust 12) = 46.2%
These all assume you will continue hitting until you reach 17 or bust.
Thank you for everything, man. I am on vacation for six months and I have been on your site almost everyday for the past three. I have basic memorized and have started working counting in to my play. Thank you for teaching me these skills through your site. The new format looks great.
The new display, i.e. black screen on a white background is glaring. It makes my eyes hurt. It causes distortions in perception and causes a loss in concentration. Please change back to the green background or anything easier on the eyes. Thank you for the service of the strategy trainer. If you have time, how does the Surrender option effect the win/loss ratio if surrender is counted as a loss?
Can you quantify the change. I would expect the win ratio to be less even though the $Loss would be less. I have been calculating the winning percentage at 47.6. Is this about correct for the dealer hits soft-17 option. The Beau Rivage, Biloxi plays Dealer Hits Soft 17, has late surrender and re-split Aces up to 4 hands. This seems to offer good odds. What are they? Thanks again for the Basic Strategy Charts and your many excellent articles.
You are correct: with surrender the percentage of hands lost will be higher, but the money lost will be lower (assuming you use surrender at the appropriate times). This is one example of why looking at the win/loss percentage is a poor way of judging a game.
I recommend paying no attention at all to win/loss percentages, because they don’t tell the whole story. That is especially true when using the trainer. The trainer’s percentage display is simply not useful, as it even treats a push as a loss. The win percentage is just the number of wins divided by the number of total hands. (The next version will be much improved in that regard, when I get time to finish it!)
I’m extremely suspicious that this program isn’t fairly generating random numbers. It consistently deals out high cards straight from the beginning. Time after time after time, I set it to 2 decks, and I see extremely negative counts, very quickly, and the reason is because lots of high cards come out straight at the beginning. Is it possible you programmed this thing to kind of simulate “worst case scenario” conditions?
Hi Raymond, I notice you are visiting from a mobile device which likely does not support Flash. That did not change with the new website. Perhaps you were previously visiting from a desktop computer instead?
If you were previously able to access the trainer from your mobile device, please let me know. But I am unaware of any that support Flash.
By the way, now that the website design is complete, I can get to work creating a new version of the trainer. I’ve been planning that for a long while, and have a lot of improvements in mind. For one thing, the new version will not require Flash, and should work on any device. I plan for it to also optionally be multi-player.
Sembra che si paghi un ante di $1 per ogni $5 della propria puntata, quindi si paga un vig di 20% per l'opportunità di foldare e ottenere una nuova mano. Non ho ancora visto alcuna analisi da parte di nessuno.

Le CSM non cambiano affatto la strategia di base. Gioca con la certezza di giocare queste partite nel modo migliore possibile.

Absolutely brilliant. So very cool. It’s bookmarked

Wheelmarks
A surrender in the trainer is counted just like any other loss, so it affects the win/loss percentage as well.
On the screen colors, I may experiment with that a bit and see what I can come up with. Thanks for the feedback.

For the Beau Rivage game you mention, I plugged in 6D, H17, and Late Surrender at the Strategy Engine:
https://www.blackjackinfo.com/blackjack-basic-strategy-engine/?numdecks=6&soft17=h17&dbl=all&das=yes&surr=ls&peek=yes
That shows a house advantage estimated at 0.58%. The Resplit Aces rules decreases that by about 0.08%, so this game has an expected loss of 0.5% of your initial bets.
That is the important number, regardless of what percentage of hands you will win or lose.

No, it’s random. You’ve just been lucky, or unlucky, depending on your perspective.

Wow this website made me win big I started with 1k and I left with about 5.79K Thx!
Non avevo mai sentito parlare di questo gioco prima del tuo commento. Tuttavia, sono riuscito a trovare alcune informazioni presso il NJ DGE:
