It has taken years, but I have finally added a switching strategy to my Blackjack Switch page. This strategy is by the brilliant Cindy Liu, who I thank. I just put this up, so I am soliciting comments if anything is unclear or unanswered about them.

Thank you.

Wiz - the iPhone link should probably say "based on my switching strategy". I hope you're getting some percentage of that $0.99. Also, I wonder if that iPhone app would be just as illegal in Nevada as the card-counting app.

There has been a Blackjack switch decision calculator at Beatingbonuses.com since like many years already.

What is the point of BJ Switch?



For me it is a way to make bjack interesting again. I had gotten really tired of it.

And one here:

even longer

The bonus beaters one doesn't agree with the WoO one, but then the bonus beaters one gives no indication of its rules.

Are you talking about under where it says Advanced Switching Strategy? This is great. From what I have understood of the game, to memorize the basic strategy of the 2 hands was the easy part, but knowing when switching would be to the player's best advantage was a way more difficult task and too many combinations. This is pretty cool if this strategy sums it up.

Also, in regards to these calculators and iPhone apps, what's the point if we're not allowed to use our cell phones at the tables?

The advanced switching strategy finishes with this:

"My Switch appendix 1 shows that the combined expected value of 12 + soft 19 is higher at -0.2108+0.3634=0.1526, and 8-8 + soft 15 is 0.1461+0.0365=0.1824."

which seems like a boo boo.

There has been one on my site for years too. However, I was trying to draw attention to the simple and advanced strategies. You can't use a computer at live tables.

Thanks, you're right. I previously had a different example, and didn't fully amend the old wording.
