If you guys want to keep debating math, we can do that, we can start a whole new thread dedicated to it, people have disagreed over math for hundreds of years.
Just remember what you have on your site, you don’t have a winning system, you have an odds probability chart for 1 handed blackjack play.
And what you are trying to say, is that your return will be the same regardless of whether you are playing 1 hand or 2 hands, can we agree on that, that is what you’re saying ?
So i have some questions
Using a 4 card deck
1 – What are the odds of you getting 2 10’s(or 2 splitting cards with 10 value)
2 – In 2 handed play, what are the odds of getting 2 hands each with 2 10’s(or 2 splitting cards with 10 value)
What you have been saying this whole time is that your odds are the same, well i don’t agree
3 – What are the odds of a player with a 10 beating the dealer with a 6 up card.
4 – What are the odds of a player with a 20 total beating the dealer with a 6 up card.
Your whole argument from the start has been that the odds will be the same, regardless of whether you have 1 splitting hand or 2 splitting hands, each with a value of 10.
What i am saying is that the probability of you losing with 4 hands hitting on a 10 vs a dealer with a 6 make it much more profitable than 2 hands hitting on a 10 vs a dealer with a 6, 20+% more profitable, and because of that fact(4 favoured draws vs dealer 6, instead of 2 favoured draws vs dealer 6)it is more profitable than standing with the 20 over the long run. If you don’t do the correct math it will never make sense to you, in total it will come out to be around 14% more profitable of a play, depending on the number of decks.
There are other factors as well, and odds you should figure out
5 – What are the odds of you losing both splitting hands with a 10 draw vs dealer 6
6 – What are the odds of you losing all 4 splitting hands with a 10 draw vs dealer 6
There is no need for you to both to respond, unless you are practicing your Abbott & Costello routine, only one person who can actually figure out the correct odds will do, Wizards Apprentice Michael, you get the honours, Nolan is just being a fool with 50 000 totals, no need for clown biusiness, i don’t know how he came up with that number since he doesn’t have 50 000 fingers to count with.
No need for Nolan to even post to this anymore, i am not even acknowledging any of his findings, he has made himself look bad way too many times.
It’s up to you Michael, convince me, in other words prove it, start a thread in the free for all section, this one is already nearing 10 pages, get your Wizard, whatever it takes, all you have to do is tell me the exact percentages, i don’t have any problem with your 1 handed play numbers, however, you have shown nothing solid to support 2 handed play statistics, essentially you are saying that there is no difference between 1 and 2 handed play.
My whole philosophy with regards to 2 handed play is this
The house edge will always be there, but by playing 2 hands you are taking a more aggressive approach to the game, meaning you will win more and lose more on each hand, making potential gains with a monster hand much greater, like the hand used in this example.
I see the mistake you are making btw with your calculations, i’m hoping you see it too, i tried to explain, maybe i should try again, your numbers support this scenario…
Splitting 1 hand = 2 hands vs dealers 1 hand
Splitting 2 hands = 4 hands vs dealers 2 hands
This is the correct scenario
Splitting 1 hand = 2 hands vs dealers 1 hand
Splitting 2 hands = 4 hands vs dealers 1 hand
Since you put me through all this trouble, i hope you will be honourable and acknowledge that i am right, instead of continuing to mislead people in order to save face.
