| cardcounter Member since: Oct 15, 2011 Threads: 10 Posts: 56 | I was playing blackjack and I got a first card is an ace coupon. I got another ace split it got another ace split it again than I got a than I drew a 5, 4, 7 on the three hands for two stiffs and an 18 the dealer got a 19 and won all three hands. This is on double deck. According to playing blackjack as a business splitting aces is the right thing to do by a 31% minimum gain. The only positive thing is the casino limited me to a $5 bet so I only lost $15. I would have bet $25 in a heartbeat losing $75 if the casino would have let me or given me the $25 that they give to bigger players. What are the odds of losing all 3 hands when splitting aces? What are the odds of winning all 3 hands? |

| cardcounter Member since: Oct 15, 2011 Threads: 10 Posts: 56 | What are the odds of losing $30 on 3 $5 first card is an ace coupons? I know the odds are stacked in my favor with that coupon but at the silver legacy they sent me 3 $5 bet first card is an ace coupons. First one I lost $5. The Second one I made 3 hands by splitting aces and lost all 3 hands to lose $15. The third one I doubled down to lose $10. I dare the Silver Legacy to send me a $25 bet coupon next time. |

It's hard especially when the dealer has a high upcard. I usually break even (win one/lose one). Of course the correct play is to split, as you know. "If you can make one heap of all your winnings / And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss / And lose, and start again at your beginnings / And never breathe a word about your loss..." -Rudyard Kipling |
