BLACKJACK SESSION

Hi, I went to the Blackjack gambling session calculator and used House Edge 0.0048 / 72 hands per hour @ $25 a hand for 4 hours with 1 for Standard Deviation. The results came out as 99% chance to win this much or less (negative = loss): $952.43 , 95% chance to win this much or less (negative = loss):$663.29, 75% chance to win this much or less (negative = loss): $251.6.
1% chance to win this much or less (negative = loss): -$1021.55 I am sure I must be interpreting this wrongly .... Casinos are not in the business of giving out money !!! I am reading this as 99 customers out of 100 win $952.43 and 1 loses $1,21.55

superbri,

You are reading this wrong. If you have a 99% chance to win $952.43 or less, then you have a 1% chance to win more than $952.43. The other 99% of the time, your result will be less than +$952.43: so it might be +$800, or +$25, or -$123, or -$1,200: all of these results are less than a win of $952.43.

Hope this helps!

The 50% line is -$34.56. Your chance of winning x% is reduced by $34.56 while your chance of losing x% is increased by $34.56. The difference in the absolute values of both dollar amounts equals 2X $34.56.

You have a 50% chance of winning more than -$34.56, and a 50% chance of winning less than -$34.56.
99% of numbers at or below $952.43 are possible, 1% will exceed it.

I believe the SD was set at 1.15 for a reason for blackjack. If I play 2,000 hands, I can expect to lose $240 in HA, but because the SD is 1.15, the other numbers skew wider than at the SD of 1.00.

Yes, you are absolutely right, I would not say better. Blackjack is my favorite game that brings me a lot of pleasure, although everyone says that you can't win in the casino, but according to my calculations, I am in the big plus, I am very good at this game, and I only play with small deposits, usually 1 euro.

Although the casino always wins, I have long understood for myself that you can learn how to play such games as Blackjack or poker and thereby greatly increase your chances of winning in the casino. I was also advised to play with a minimum deposit of 1 euro, which allows me not to take a lot of risks, read more about this method of playing in a casino. I am sure that this will be useful for many players, not just for beginners.
