I'm currently writing a paper on how basic strategy is derived, I was wondering if I could get some pointers as to how a table for say, expected returns on standing/hitting, is derived? I'm looking for the calculations one must undertake to achieve a table similar in values to that of the blackjack appendix 1 on the Wizard of Odds site at

Thanks in Advance!

A paper - as in scientific paper ?

Sorry, you are a bit too late, just a couple of decades.

It was done using software. For example, http://www.bjmath.com/bjcomputer/computer/gamegen.htm

But I'm assuming it's for a school assignment.

This is the one I started with. Very easy to code.
