Just follow the dealer strategy. Hit on less than 16, and stand on 17 or higher. You won't be giving up too much.

[/ QUOTE ]that can't be optimal strategy.

[/ QUOTE ]

its a lot better than doing it by instinct, but a card is better. esp when betting 200$ units.

how did you calculate the player edge given these rules?

[/ QUOTE ]

I guessed.

Wtf is the dealer strategy? If it involves hitting a 12 when the dealer shows 5 or a 6 it cant be that great.

It's actually quite a lot worse than doing it by instinct, unless your instincts are really terrible.

[Keepitsimple]

Btw, does anybody feel by instinct that standing with TT is good vs a dealers 6? I can just never understand that.

[/ QUOTE ]if you had only a $30k roll would u be willing to bet so much?

[thedustbustr]

i would bet 200 per hand on a 30k roll for sure.

200*50=10k. 95% chance of not losing more than 10k. EV is 2k.

i have a 6k roll, i'll be doing $50 bets for sure.

Sorry, I should have posted some of this earlier in anticipation of a glut of questions.

Q: <blah blah blah blah> gambling question <blah blah>
A: Wizardofodds.com almost certainly has the answer

Q: Which game does this promo apply to?
A: According to party, it is their Blackjack-Single Player game with a max bet of $200. Their terms explicity exclude thier Blackjack - High Limit game. I have no idea if Blackjack - Single Deck or Blackjack - Multi player apply.

Q: Strategy Card for Party blackjack?
A: Party uses 8 decks. Resplit up to 4 hands. Double after Split (DAS). Double on Anything (DOA). Hit on Soft 17 (H17). Late surrender allowed. Use the right hand card at

If you can't interpret this card, do not participate in this promo. You will probably lose money and whine about it later

Q: How'd you calculate the house advantage of party's game without the 2:1 promo?
A: http://wizardofodds.com/blackjack/ho...alculator.html

Q: How'd you calculate the player advantage that the 2:1 promo adds?
A: http://wizardofodds.com/blackjack

Q: What is my EV of this promo
A: 1.71% * number of hands you play * amount wagered per hand

For 600 hands an hour, this is about 10 units. So if you bet $100 a hand, you can expect to earn $1,000

Q: What is the chance of me losing $x
A: From an earlier post
65% chance of finishing between -19.1 units and +39.7
95% chance of finishing between -48.5 and +69.1
99.7% chance of finishing between -77.9 and +98.5

ie ... this promo isn't for the risk averse.

party rigged this promo to run during my classes and force me to take a zero on a quiz.

Party could show up to my door and hand me 5k and I will still find a way to hate them because this is what they are doing right now.
