Quite a bit more than twice.
Get a calculator and divide 0.675 by 0.175, it’s 3.85 times as much. So yes, over time, you will make 3.85 times more money from the hand 10,10v6 if you stand, than if you split.
Yes, that’s what I’m saying. Of course, it’s not really me that’s saying it, is it? I didn’t work it out myself. I just went to the established experts, who did work it out, and I used their figures. Like any normal, sane person would. You know, in the same way I trust my doctor’s advice rather than trying to cure myself.
So, what you’re saying is that Michael Shackleford, The Wizard of Odds, respected gambling mathematician, and consultant to just about every online casino software provider there is, is an idiot.
Could you please reply and say “Yes, I am saying Michael Shackleford is an idiot, and I, nick777 am correct and he is wrong” so I can get a quote for my sig.
Thanks.
PS. You’re also saying that the following people are idiots. Perhaps I could get a quote for these guys too:
Stanford Wong (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanford_Wong)
Arnold Snyder
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arnold_Snyder)
there’s loads more but I can’t be bothered to look them up. Basically, everyone who has ever written about blackjack says one thing, nick777 says another.
