Betting System

In this part you can check the bet increasing systems in combination of optional bet multiplier, box, entering and cut off. The basic bet is always fixed.

You can set the following parameters:

• bet multipliers by players for TC=-2...+6 values,
• minimum bet of the table (this is bet multiplier 1),
• number of hands to be played,
• more hands can be held together,
• method of RC to TC conversion used in bet increasing.

The number of hands relates to the dealer, i.e. if the set number is 1000 then the dealer will play 1000 hands and the number of your rounds is this multiplied by the number of boxes or hands you play.

Possible real time examinations:

• gain resulting from increasing the bet at a given TC,
• gain depending on the cut off,
• opening several boxes on a favorable situation,
• various bet multipliers by players,
• two-phase betting system (you can switch on the bet increasing at any part of the shoe, Skip),
• checking any part of the shoe from the viewpoint of the gain,
• calculation of your bankroll for the set betting system under a certain ROR (Risk of Ruin = probability losing the total bankroll). It is possible to calculate Trip Bankroll (bankroll for a day) and Lifetime Bankroll (bankroll for infinite game).

Interpretation of the results:

This examination answers the most interesting question: what is the amount of money you can gain in a certain period of time and what is the requested bankroll?

Column Gain of line Total contains your net gain in $.

Columns:

1. Hands - number of hands played by you, that is the number of boxes multiplied by the number of dealer's hands
2. Total Bet - sum of the bets laid down, in $,
3. Gain - the net money you won (if it is negative then it is a loss).

If the percentual display is switched on then column 3 relates to the total bet laid down (i.e. the percentual gain here is not relative as in the unit bet win/lose statistics, but it is absolute).

Examples:

Simulator settings: normal house rule, single deck shoe, basic strategy for both hands, Burn=1, Skip=0, Cut Off=0 and run, let us say 10 million rounds on the simulator.

In the case of the picture above you play with two hands (Summed button and Player 1, 2 are switched on), and you do the same bet increase on both hands. (In the Bet multipliers section the Player: All setting has been selected, i.e. the bet increase is the same for all players), in bed situation the bet multiplier is 1, TC=1,2,3,4,5,6 and in favorable situation setting of the bet multiplier is 2,3,4,5,6,7, the single bet is $100 and you play 200 rounds. Set the cut off (Cut off slider) on 21 cards. The skip should be (Skip slider) 0. Results:

• According to the simulation the calculated mean gain is $896 on the 2x200 = 400 hands played.
• The calculated daily bankroll demand is $17721 for the 400 hands (under a ROR of 10 %).

It is important to emphasize that this is the expectable value of the gain, which is the result of several million played rounds re-divided to 400 hands.

Let us examine the gain of another player, who stands beside the table, counts cards from there and bets on the hand of a player at the table, playing basic strategy, TC>0 (all other settings are the same as above). To simulate this you only should set the sliders as follows: TC=-2, -1, bet multiplier 0. The result is the following:

You can see, while the player at the table plays 200 hands, the other one, who bets in favorable situations on the hand of the sitting player, plays only in 86 cases, because there are so many TC>0 positions on the average. The gain ($962 that is 2.21% on the total bet) is larger than that of the player at the table (who plays 400 rounds with two hands), because the standing player does not need to wager single bets on the bed situations and so he/she does not lose anything on these rounds. (It is another matter that a player trying permanently to play like this will be asked sooner or later to leave the casino.)
