The correct formula for 2 handed play in this situation is this
Standing – (0.85 x 2 x 1 = 1.7) – (0.15 x 2 x 1 = 0.3) = 1.4
Splitting – (0.64 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 15.36) – (0.36 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 8.64) = 6.72
Huge difference
And that my friends is the only correct formula to apply to this situation
It’s called the probability factor
Now you know why they call me the champ
It’s not just that the figures are so completely and utterly wrong, it’s the enormous ego that goes with it. Being wrong is one thing; but being both completely wrong and simultaneously 100% convinced not just of one’s correctness, but also of one’s superiority to everyone else, is truly priceless.
Nick, you’re a legend.
