Luck is one of those things that balances out, sometimes it's good, sometimes it's not, streaks in the game balance out too, even in 100,000 hands the house wins just about exactly the correct percentage of hands expected based on the rules in play, and a reasonably consistant play by 'generally agreed upon basic card strategy'. Tired of dealing by hand, 500-1000 hands a day in my 'spare time', again tedious. I tried something weird, didn't work (real tables) decided to bet on the opposite (jury still out). I did come up with it all by myself ( he said smugly), or at least I think I did (doubt setting in). I suspect the system is nothing new, I am not exactly a mental giant or anything. I'm still looking to speed the process.ĭon't understand the blind squirrel joke, was that me looking for my nuts?Ĥ7,000 was your expectation? The overall balance is 85,600 at the moment, but again it is still a small sampling. Thanks as always! The Feathered OneĪctually I said 100,000 hands was too small a sample, and very tedious by hand. The trend is not linear but generally upward.Īny suggestions of sourcing for a close to 'off the shelf' program would be appreciated. This on a $10 min/ $1000 max table, dealer hit soft seventeen, common rules, no surrender.

The results for 100,000 hands, right now winnings stand at $0.85 per hand average, though it is volatile to say the least. I would like to speed up the process and don't mind spending some bucks to do so, but would like to stop short of having a custom program written just for me because of the probable costs, and I might have to shoot the developer once the product is delivered just to ensure confidentiality. Wore out a couple of machines and lots of decks of cards, pretty much wore myself out too. Perhaps we can agree that some are more worthless than others? Sat down with a little shuffle machine and 6 decks and dealt over a hundred thousand hands evaluating a family of similar strategies one on one against the house. And I don't really want another lecture that all betting strategies are worthless. Figured I'd go out on a limb here, and ask this bunch of fanatics. Searched around the web a bit, see free stuff and cheap stuff but not powerful stuff that will allow me to specify all the parameters I need. Don't see a thread more recent than 2013. Need a relatively easy to use but powerful simulator to evaluate various tweaks to a fairly complicated betting strategy.

Searched around the forum history and don't see a recent applicable discussion.
