Online baccarat/roulette table games

With all due respect, if there was a free money hack in the casino that was this easy, nobody would be working.

I would stop spending hours on online baccarat while you are ahead since the math is not on your side.

Let me know if you want me to show the math behind this.

I want to house ultimate texas hold em. How much am i expected to make per hour?

Quote: cory00AI is telling me 2.18% house edge for all wagered bets. But another website is telling 0.53%.

Im gonna assume 0.53% is the house edge.

So for every $100 a player wagers, i only make 53 cents?

It's not even worth housing ultimate to people who play optimal strategy I feel like? And I'm also gonna let players be able to look at each others cards. which probably brings down the edge even more.

Let's say all ante/play bet is $100 and $100. I do 30 hands per hour.

would it be 53 cents x 30 hands = $15.90 im making in the long run per player per hour thats playing optimally?

Ok but im hosting 3 players who are all betting $100 each. so i make $48 an hour basically in the long run?

With the variance in uth its probably not even worth it. I can probably either lose $10000 running a 8 hour session against people betting $100 antes every hand, or either win 10k.

Am i reading this correct? How is the house even making money? Why would casinos want to even host ultimate when they can make far more money running double zero roulette which has a house edge of 5%+?

The house edge for optimal strategy without collusion is 2.18%

The house edge for UTH with optimal collusion in which each player sees the cards of 5 other players is 0.53%.

You are hosting a game with three players, so even if they are world class advantage players your house edge will be above 1.5%. Each player only sees 4 cards in his neighbors' hands, not 10 cards. If they are ordinary players then your house edge will likely be above 2.1%.

YOUTube embedding N/A

Often, when Youtube makes updates to their embedded player, adjustments are need on websites that embed the player.

I'd stick to brick & mortar table games with no side bets that pay over $2K. The 90% loss coverage for tax purposes makes online gaming a W-2G onslaught if you start getting payouts above $2K per BJ hand or slot pull. Hardly anybody can cover the 10% phantom income spread and there's tax due on it. Most winners may have a 1% win rate above even, so they won't be making up for the phantom taxes owed. Poker tournaments will be badly impacted, or the players will be in the next tax year. With online play, just everything is tracked and they count your bet returned to you as winnings; and when your win plus your bet totals over $2K, you'll get a tax form about it. I'd suggest playing in Canada but nobody likes to cross the border anymore.

OBBO vs OBO for ENHC

monodactyl — Wed, 08 Apr 2026 17:00:36 +0000

I've often heard to treat OBBO / OBO just like American Blackjack where dealer peeks for Blackjack. I've just found this a little hard to fully wrap my head around.

So let's say a Dealer has a face up Ace.

I have 88, I can't surrender against an Ace.

I split.

Would I play the same basic strategy as dealer peeks?

I'm wondering if under OBBO, there is increased incentive to "not bust" so I might not hit a 15 or 16 vs an A as keeping the new hands alive means I get more "rebate" for if the dealer gets a blackjack and I get to win more on the 12% or so chance the dealer busts with an up A.

Is there a gold standard resource for ENHC OBBO basic strategy somewhere? Surely the at least the EV's of the actions change between OBBO and OBO..

I feel like I have to frankenstein a card together where if the dealer has an A and I want to double against it, I have to change take ENHC EV and add back 4/13.

Applied Mathematics Question 2

ThatDonGuy — Thu, 09 Apr 2026 13:38:03 +0000

My method
Our methods are the same up to:
sin x / sin y = (2428.1 sin 67 sin 57 / (2122.7 sin 64 sin 71)

Here's where my method differs:

Substitute (145 - x) for y:
(2122.7 sin 64 sin 71) sin x = (2428.1 sin 57 sin 67) sin (145 - x)

Since sin t = sin (180 - t), sin (145 - x) = sin (180 - (145 - x)) = sin (35 + x):
(2122.7 sin 64 sin 71) sin x = (2428.1 sin 57 sin 67) sin (35 + x)

Sine of a sum rule:
(2122.7 sin 71 sin 64) sin x = (2428.1 sin 57 sin 67) sin 35 cos x + (2428.1 sin 57 sin 67) cos 35 sin x
(2122.7 sin 71 sin 64) sin x - (2428.1 sin 57 sin 67 cos 35) sin x = (2428.1 sin 57 sin 67 sin 35) cos x

Square both sides:
(2122.7 sin 71 sin 64 - 2428.1 sin 57 sin 67 cos 35)^2 sin^2 x = (2428.1 sin 57 sin 67 sin 35)^2 (1 - sin^2 x)
((2122.7 sin 71 sin 64 - 2428.1 sin 57 sin 67 cos 35)^2 + (2428.1 sin 57 sin 67 sin 35)^2) sin^2 x = (2428.1 sin 57 sin 67 sin 35)^2
sin^2 x = (2428.1 sin 57 sin 67 sin 35)^2 / ((2122.7 sin 71 sin 64 - 2428.1 sin 57 sin 67 cos 35)^2 + (2428.1 sin 57 sin 67 sin 35)^2)
sin x = 2428.1 sin 57 sin 67 sin 35 / sqrt((2122.7 sin 71 sin 64 - 2428.1 sin 57 sin 67 cos 35)^2 + (2428.1 sin 57 sin 67 sin 35)^2)

Law of sines on AEB:
AB / sin 52 = AE / sin 57
AB = AE sin 52 / sin 57
AB = (2122.2 sin 52) / (sin 67 sin 57) sin x
AB = (2122.2 sin 52) (2428.1 sin 35) / sqrt((2122.7 sin 71 sin 64 - 2428.1 sin 57 sin 67 cos 35)^2 + (2428.1 sin 57 sin 67 sin 35)^2)
