Hi everyone, I love the WizardofOdds site so much and all it has to offer, but one thing has got me stumped. I found this: https://wizardofodds.com/blackjack/appendix1.html which is an appendix for a S17 blackjack game which tells you what your expected outcome is by hitting, staying, doubling, or splitting. My friends and I want to get into card counting and playing better blackjack, so we really want to study which hands are the "swing" hands in which the difference between hitting and staying is very minimal and thus would be susceptible to changes in the count to let you make the decision. The only problem is all the games we find are H17 tables, and the table the Wizard has up there is for S17. Is there a table for H17? That would be awesome!

Thanks!

Here's his calculator for various rules. Of course that's not exactly what you asked for.

Seems odd to me that your H17 tables don't also use the continuous shuffling machines.

It's here.

To do card counting, you're going to want to do more than just look at the Wizard's site.

Thanks so much Teddys! I had a feeling it was on there somewhere. As for card counting, what other sites would you recommend? What's the best way to practice?
