Hello everyone,
First time posting here. I am trying to run a sim on free bet blackjack and was wondering if anyone would be able to help me out. I tried on CVdata, however it does not have a feature to use a different basic strategy card for hands after splitting.

Bears,
The CV software is written by Norm W, who has his own forum: www.blackjacktheforum.com
Try posting your query there and he will probably reply.
Hope this helps!

Most free BET in Vegas is 6/5
There is a correct BS for the game, but even with correct Free bet BS the game has over double the house edge of regular blackjack, assuming it is full pay 3/2.
... The main exploitable feature of free BET is the pot of gold sucker bet, which requires a highly specialized approach.

I did email Norm, and he was the one who told me it would not be possible to use a different basic strategy for the hands after splits, which puts any type of sim dead in the water unfortunately.
Thanks for your response.

This is exactly what I was trying to sim, but I don’t even know where to start. Now that I know I cannot use CVdata, which is what I was going to use to sim the side bet and possible counts or strategies, but if I cannot sim the base game correctly then that kinda kills me.
