Thank you for this site! I've learned so much about gambling here. I can now understand gambling from a completely different perspective.
The Wizard's Spanish 21 page,, mentions that his strategies agreed with those of Katarina Walker, and gives a link to her book, "The Pro's Guide to Spanish 21 and Australian Pontoon". However, there are slight discrepancies between the strategies given on the Wizard's site and those given in Katarina Walker's book. What are the reasons for these differences?
Dealer Stands on Soft 17
Wizard says S6 for S19-S21 v 10, Walker says S6 for S19 v 10 and S for S20+
Dealer Hits Soft 17 with Redoubling
10 v 7: Wizard says D, Walker says D4
10 v 8: Wizard says D5, Walker says D3
11 v 7-8: Wizard says D5, Walker says D4
