Help with these odds

Hi Everyone,

The casino plays under these rules:

The only exception is that they add a Joker card to the deck. This joker card pays 2-1. The interesting part about this is they place the joker card in the deck right before your eyes, so you are able to estimate right about when the joker will come by taking a look at the burn cards.

Therefore, the system I was thinking consists of making minimum bet of $10, then betting table max of $300 when I think the jokers are coming out.

Please let me know if this makes any sense at all, or am I just crazy.


Here are my Assumptions Below: (The reason 187.2 is used is because the cut card is 3/5 deep and 3.9 comes from playing 2 hands at once, so 187.2 / 48

Shoes/hr (1 plyr) 3.00
Shoes/hr (7 plyrs) 1.50
Hrs/shift 8.5
Table Min 10
Table max 300 *2 hands crds/shoe crds/hand
Hands/shoe (1 plyr) 24 187.2 3.9
Hands /shoe (7 plyrs) 8
Preemption (1 plyr) 4 hands
Preemption (7 plyrs) 2 hands



House edge (straight up) 0.55% based on 6 decks, late surrender, split after double, 3/2 BJ, immediate loss after dealer bj
