What is the house edge using this "special" blackjack strategy?
How many hands have you played using it?
How much have you won?
Total house edge is derived from all the situations when you have 5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16 AA, 22, 33, 44, 55, 66, and all the different 2 card combinations. If we conform to all Basic Strategy, the house edge is advantageous to casino. The casinos are afraid of players doubling down and splitting cards.
Why house edge wins players is because we only play that condition at certain scenarios.
Without me saying doubling up 8 when dealer has 6, no one will want to double down because they read that no doubling but chose to hit instead.
This calculation, you can simulate over 10,000 times, using the cards you have at home. On paper I calculate its 5600credits won out of playing 10000times.
I simulated using 8 deck over 3000 times, the actual result is about 1800 credits from 1000 times, not far from the actual calculation. The real percentage will show once more games are played. +-
Imagine the number of lost opportunities to double down when we have a good opportunity but did not choose to take it.
Remember few pages back you gave an article link from CRA where the rules of different casinos MBS and RWS are shown. I said then playing blackjack is more advantageous in MBS than RWS. Because RWS only allows doubling down at 9,10,11. However MBS allows you to double down at any 2 card scenario if its not blackjack. Go figure why.
