Most places I have played will only let additional hands be played blind

I apologize for my English, I write through an online translator.

Thanks for the answer! It would be interesting to look at the results.

I have a question on the analyzer (calculator).

1. I can not understand why there 1x EV is different from 3x? Do EV% is considered a resignation not a percentage, regardless of its size?

2. may be possible calculator simulator? where you have to manually enter the combination

Thanks for the confirmation on the countability of CSM blackjack. I’m probably going to upload a CSM BJ simulation kit to Github when I get around to it. There’s a few people out there that care about counting CSM blackjack, and want to evaluate custom strategies.

i used a 5m simulator by using 7 boxes data, stand onsoft 17, double on 9, 10,11, surrender allow, split for 3 times, no peek at blackjack, double allwoed after split, A split once, and CSM machines (house edge = -0.5%, -ve meant advantage for casino) averagely around 28-30 cards info to do the card counting,

2,3,4,5,6 = +1,
7,8,9 = 0
A,T,J,Q,K = -1

Bet 1x, count <+5
Bet 2x, count = +5
Bet 3x, count = +10
BEt 4x, count = +15

I prepared 1000 unit capital to fight with Casino, after 1000 hours played in Casino during weekend for 1 year ++, I made a small profit, around +0.1% from my total bet…I believe it works

I’ll make an updated post on team play for 4 to 6 boxes. But yes, you’ll have an advantage for 6 boxes. We’ll see what 4- and 5- boxes yields. And most importantly, I’ll run the numbers for the most common pay table where straights are only paid 4:1.

Hi! I have a question on the percentage of an advantage over the casino…

- 1.5% is with the condition of the game on 6 boxes?
- And 1.5% is in each box, or 0.25% to 6 boxes

Tell me please, if you play optimally on 4 boxes, how much player get?

Comment on Card Craps (+EV) by stephenhow

I’ll have to look at the details of Pechanga craps, but as I remember, it’s no longer countable. Even if they dealt directly out of a CSM or even a shoe, you still need 10x odds like Viejas to have an edge on the game.

Hi Stephen – I had a question on if the material here is still applicable at places like Pechanga now where they deal out 12 cards per roll (6 blue 6 red), and reveal the top of each card as the resolved roll. They then put the 12 cards back in the CSM (two-step motion, 6 blue first, then 6 red). Is this the same as how you’ve seen it when you wrote this? Or is this the casinos updating their process? Wouldn’t this effectively get you to be only able to do a 2-windowed count?

You need a full table (6 players) colluding to have a +EV edge in this game. Even with 5 confederates, you’ll still be -EV.
