Damn, you are beyond help
Read my lips…
The Wizard is a go off
There is no way you double your bet by splitting 8’s against a dealers 10
As for your point about my not considering the losses, you are not considering that i have 4 hands each with a 64% chance of winning, EACH
You and your wizard are assuming it’s 1 hand vs 1 hand, which would support what you’re trying to prove, but that’s not the real math equation
The real math equation has to factor in that i have 4 hands vs 1, each with a 64% chance of winning, that is what puts me over the top in the return on investment category.
Go write a letter to your Wizard and tell him to get his math right.
