This is the first casino I went to that has only virtual Blackjack tables. I read that they have 14 sets of such virtual tables. They don't tell the players how many decks these machines are using. But it does give the players the impression it is a 8 deck game. Each table serves 5 players. This is the opening day, so all seats are taken immediately when someone stood up. But since some player might skip one hand or two when they felt unlucky or tried to feed the machine money when the credits reached zero, so they changed dealer every 18 to 20 rounds. That is how I figure out it might be 8 deck games assuming changing dealer means shuffle.This is my first experience...http://igamingforums.com/iGaming/NeedBlackjackProgram/zbjjv/post.htmThu, 22 Nov 2012 04:21:06 GMThttp://igamingforums.com/iGaming/NeedBlackjackProgram/zbjjv/post.htmUsenethttp://igamingforums.com/iGaming/NeedBlackjackProgram/zbjjv/post.htmI'm not sure I'm in the right group for this but I'm trying to develop a program or better yet get one that's a blackjack game simulator that over million hands etc and give me the wins or losses statistics of my systems over time.

My question is why is there a function D, where did this come from? I noticed something, after 100 trials the expected return is between 1500 and -1500 ( 49.85%), the expected return after 100 trials is 15 or -15 (35%), so the distance from zero keeps getting shorter and shorter in...http://igamingforums.com/iGaming/CardOdds/ckmkz/post.htmWed, 22 Aug 2012 04:21:06 GMThttp://igamingforums.com/iGaming/CardOdds/ckmkz/post.htmUsenethttp://igamingforums.com/iGaming/CardOdds/ckmkz/post.htmHi, Im thinking of baccarat mostly, but card probability calcs also. If you have 8 decks and a game is half way through, so you might have say 10ace, 13 kings, 31 qheens... etc cards left. How do I begin to calculate the odds of a given hand. Do I base it on the odds of it going on to win, or the odds of drawing a particular card. For instance, in baccarat Im starting a new round, Player draws an Ace, and banker has a 6. So points = 1 - 6. Do I calculate all possibilities of say the banker drawing a card to put him ahead in the next round, and then do the same for the player.

Not having any small chips for a toke, I dug a crumpled $5 bill out of my wallet, threw it to the dealer and asked for a red chip. I placed it as a dealer bet and it won. The dealer then proceeds to go on a bit of a hot streak. After I lost several consecutive hands, his total of 21 beat my two card 17 and instead of collecting my bet, he gave the tap indicating a push and left it there. I believe there was one other player at the table. I can't imagine a dealer making a mistake like this since I only had 2 cards. I considered it a payback for the toke.

Obviously, it will depend on a number of factors, most notably the number of times you're allowed to split. I did a very rudimentary analysis (combinatorics really isn't my thing) and came up with the following. Assuming you start with a pair, an infinite deck and the casino allows you to split ad infinitum, your expected number of hands is given by: inf E(H) = sum (k * C(k - 1) * P^(k - 2) * (1 - P)^k) k=2 where C(n) is the nth Catalan number and P is the probability of drawing a card matching your pair. Normally, P would be 1/13, but if you allow for the splitting of any pair of 10-value cards (e.g. JQ), you would increase...http://igamingforums.com/iGaming/BestBlackjackBookForMe/cjljz/post.htmMon, 22 Oct 2012 04:21:06 GMThttp://igamingforums.com/iGaming/BestBlackjackBookForMe/cjljz/post.htmUsenethttp://igamingforums.com/iGaming/BestBlackjackBookForMe/cjljz/post.htmHey guys, Just started reading the discussions.
