Six decks.
Dealer hits soft 17.
Shuffle after every hand.
Double after split allowed.
Surrender not allowed.
Aces get one card each (no re-splitting).
All other pairs may be re-split to three hands maximum.

BS player, what are the player final totals percents for BJ, bust, 21, 20,19 . . . .5, 4 ?

Sorry, but I don't understand the question. I assume others don't as well.
Shuffle after every deal w/6 decks? Online? Simulation? Continuous shuffle machine?
Player final totals for BJ, bust,21,20,19....5,4 ? ...?
I don't understand a lot of the shorthand commonly used here, but I can often figure it out.
I failed here.

Any value of 10 or less is 0%. You could double a 9 and get a 2. Soft hands are 12 and up. What side bet are you trying to beat this time?

A player could have a very low total at the end of the hand when the dealer peeks for blackjack.

However, my question relates to splits. If the player splits and ends up with a bust and 13, for example, would the OP give each of those hands a weight of 0.5 toward the respective probabilities, or would each be given a weight of 1?

Yes, I stand corrected. Now, what's the side bet?

I agree with you, he shouldn't answer it ... but there's no harm asking.

Ssho88 has a long history of big plays against side bets, along with just about everything else. He's one of the best here. His question makes me very curious.

Curious ? I am not as good as you think, but my team member is better than you think.

I am asking here just hoping to get a quick answer, my team programmer will eventually let me know the answer.

Egalite ?

I never thought about your team member before, now I'm not sure what to think, as any quantification leads to a contradiction.

A while back, of course. Not now.

What country are you in now?

I am now playing in a cruise ship casino with many BJ sidebets. Try to figure out yourself.

As I told you before, I will get the answer :-

BJ : 4.75%
Bust : 15.94%
21(non BJ) : 5.52%
20 : 15.62%
19 : 11.36%
.
.
.
.
Unplayed(due to dealer's BJ) : 4.53%

Another 6 beatable BJ sidebets !

How does this collection of (guessing) Over/Under side bets handle splits?
