| rdw4potus Member since: Mar 11, 2010 Threads: 51 Posts: 1501 | You changed this from your blog post to here. Does BJ pay 6:5 or 3:2? If it's 3:2, then the HA is very close to .285% based on realistic play. The wizard has a calculator over on the BJ page at www.wizardofodds.com. Based on the format of your question, it looks like you've found it. The only difference between your rules set and my calculation is the infinite resplitting in your rules. That will help you, but only very minimally so. "So as the clock ticked and the day passed, opportunity met preparation, and luck happened." - Maurice Clarett |

| rdw4potus Member since: Mar 11, 2010 Threads: 51 Posts: 1501 | Very liberal. About the only realistic way to improve this game would be to play with fewer decks. "So as the clock ticked and the day passed, opportunity met preparation, and luck happened." - Maurice Clarett |

| PlayBJ Member since: Jul 26, 2010 Threads: 2 Posts: 15 | The 4 X splitting of Aces and the unlimited splits is off the chart the .285 is on the chart you mean there is now advantage to the player on the unlimited splits and the spliting of aces 4 X |

| Niblick Member since: Dec 12, 2009 Threads: 15 Posts: 106 | I understand they use the CSM's at Delaware Park...is this true? FWIW both Harrington and Dover deal from a shoe (there are a couple of tables where they use a CSM at Harrington--but, from what I recall, these are the BJ derivative games).

| rdw4potus Member since: Mar 11, 2010 Threads: 51 Posts: 1501 | Situations where splitting infinite times and splitting aces 4 times will come up very rarely. The added benefit of those rules is not enough to swing the overall game to a player advantage, but it does make the HA slightly less than the .285%.

| rudeboyoi Member since: Mar 28, 2010 Threads: 16 Posts: 530 | i find it kind of odd that you can split aces only up to 4 times and other hands an unlimited number of times. they should just limit you to either up to 4 splits for every hand or an unlimited number of splits on every hand. its not gonna make a difference much one way or another. |
