As long as she has ANY clue about BJ, and doesn't play those retarded 6-5 games, about the bigggest edge against her will only be 1%, but most likely, .5%, so basically, she's tossing away a sawbuck or two each time.

What're the odds in BJ if you're doing an all-or-nothing single bet? So you aren't going to be able to split or double down? I imagine you're giving up two or three percent.

What is the probability of winning any given hand in blackjack?

Under Atlantic City rules the probability of a net win is 43.31%, a tie is 8.80%, and a loss is 47.89%.

as per the wizard. There is no data available that I could find if you cannot split or double down, but I did ask the Wizard so we might learn soon enough.

If you don't intend to split and/or double, it elevates this tactic from terrible to horrific.
