Do my numbers for bet-spreading, but still using basic strategy look right to you? Do my flat-betting numbers look okay? Do they match what gold-standard BJ simulators show? (If not, then maybe #2 is irrelevant.)Ģ. The numbers I'm seeing here don't look right to me, but I haven't found a definitive source of truth, so I will ask (below) for an expert's opinion here, too. Recently, I have added keeping track of the true count, and varying my bet with the true count. I have run tens of millions of hands through it, and am getting numbers that I think are pretty good, but I want to hear an expert's opinion. It plays basic strategy against a dealer, flat bets, using typical Vegas strip rules. It's not a simple, demonstration program, but an attempt to do it right. Mostly as an exercise, I have written a casino blackjack simulator program.
I'm now ready to try card counting For Real. I have read several books on it, but I have never tried card counting in a casino, although I can play basic strategy easily. I have been a BJ card-counting admirer for many years. My background: I'm 70-something, math major in college, 40+ years in computer work of all sorts.
