The fact is just about every player in the world uses the strategy chart, yet the majority still manage to lose, i wonder why

Because there’s a built-in house edge to the game! This isn’t blindingly obvious to you? Wow. The point of playing proper strategy isn’t to guarantee that you win, it’s to give you the *best shot* at winning. How can you possibly not understand this? If you risk a dollar on a coin flip and win only $0.95 on a correct call of heads and only $0.90 on a correct call of tails, the correct strategy is to pick heads every time, but you will still lose in the long run. That doesn’t mean the strategy is flawed, it means that in this game the odds are against you.

Like i said, you guys are only proving that standing on 20 is more likely to win than drawing on a 10

No, that is NOT AT ALL what we are saying. We are saying that the EXPECTED VALUE of standing on 20 is higher than the EV from splitting. We’re are absolutely NOT talking about the probability of winning.

What all your calculators and wizards failed to take into account is how many times you will actually have a pair of 10’s up against a dealers 6, thats the most important factor you completely overlooked, this is what’s going to offset all those other hands where you are only a 40% favourite to win

What are you smoking? The number of times 10,10 vs. 6 appears is irrelevant. The only thing that matters is that when you DO have 10,0 vs. 6, what is the proper play? The proper play is stand. There is Zero question about this.

By the way, you are NOT smarter than the Wizard of Odds. Nobody doubts that he is the undisputed expert at gambling math (except, apparently, you, which certainly makes you the minority).

Why would the casino help me to take their money by providing me with the correct play to make in each situation, it’s like my teacher giving me the answers to the test while i’m taking it, seems odd

The fact that you even brings this up only reveals how poorly you understand the situation. They casino has no fear of supplying you with the proper strategy card (or allowing you the proper play) because THE OVERALL ODDS ARE AGAINST YOU NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO.

I realize it’s hard for people to change their ways once set, but if something is broken then fix it…I’m done with this anyway, my way is better i already know, nothing anyone here or anywhere on the net can say to convince me otherwise, the ultimate proof is in the bankroll,

I agree wholeheartedly! By all means, let’s play this out. I’ll be the bank and deal you 1000 hands where we start out with 10,10 vs. 6, and you can split to your heart’s content. Then we’ll switch and you’ll bank 1000 hands at the same exact stakes, only this time I’ll stand.

Are you ready to put your money where your mouth is? I doubt it.
