Hi,

I need someone to write a program for me that will allow me to enter any number of cards in sequence (cards stream) and it will tell me what the edge is for a given set of strategies and rules.

Only serious offers please.

Thank you very much for anybody that will be able to help me.

Pardon me for asking, but why does the order of the cards matter? I assume that they do, since you asked for "cards in sequence."

Yeah, I'm gonna be honest here bud... as a former 10+ year programmer your "spec" on what you're looking for doesn't make sense. Are you referring to blackjack, I assume? Edge as in as a result of the cards, thus just counting? Assuming Hi/Low? Also sounds like you're looking for it to spit back basic strategy and composite play (pending count I'd again assume). See how there's like 1000 more questions so any programmers probably don't have a good idea what you're even looking for... and given a decent programmer can run you hundreds per hour, you might want to get that scope figured out.

Next, just a personal pet peeve I guess, but if you're going to ask for a programmer... LIST THE RATE YOU'RE WILLING TO PAY. This isn't some back alley craigs list garbage where you're gonna try to haggle a pro down to $5/hour. List whether you're willing to pay $XXX/hour or a set fee for the project as a whole. By not, I'm 100% going to assume you're going to try to lowball me in my profession, in which case, I wouldn't even respond to your inquiry.
Playing it correctly means you've already won.

I'm sure there's several of us who could do this; so please forgive me if I have mis-understood, but the following is to clarify the type of things that might need to be agreed. I don't think you have to divulge the details of your game at this stage. Personally I find the order of cards already gone to be irrelevant, the only factor I see is what is left in the shoe.

I am guessing you're looking at, given a starting deck, the ability to remove a finite number of known cards, and then see what the house edge for the resultant modified deck. There is also a pre-defined set of BlackJack rules. Such rules could include h/s s17, peek/nopeek, doubling, surrender, BJ pays, re-split, hit after split Aces, DDAS etc. If there's a BJ variant, such as Spanish, Switch, push 22, stand 16, then this might require more code than someone already has.

My feeling is this could be done using a combinational analysis; which would then also determine the optimal player's strategy, for the modified deck and game rules. This could be done via analysing every possible player hand and dealer up-card. From this one can deduce the House Edge.

The average cost to make an RFP is well over $1,000 if a ten-second search of the internet is to be believed.
