    the 10 point minimum makes it -EV.

    I have a lot of points, but if I spent five hours playing blackjack, I'd probably wind up broke or close to it, even with perfect strategy.

    I'd love to see someone attempt this knowing a break even point is to lose 10 in a row in 60 hands, given the odds of completing this are .145%.


    edit: although,the -EV associated with the game has just gotten better by a small percentage

    yeah.... you'd have to be a moron to try FOR the 10 in a row. with the slight decrease in house edge.... it's not a bad way to kill some time.

    up about 75 points.

    If the game was not level this would be very +Even.

    Know where you're coming from, but this is simply not a true statement.

    Having said that, I believe SBR BLACKJACK is 101% on the level.

    If you're going to try it, you're better off with more decks. It's a bad idea any way you slice it though.

    unless the higher the amount played has something to do with it i would say not likely. for shits and giggles i just played maybe 60 hands at 1 point each and i didn't lose more then 5-6 in a row. but like yisman said its not worth the risk

    I just lost 5 hands in a row, pushed one, and then lost another.

    Still not ten, but seven non-winners in a row.

    4:40:46 Player Hand 1 20 A♦ 9♥ 25.00 -25.00 Player Hand 2 16 A♣ 5♦ Split 25.00 -25.00 Dealer Hand 21 4♣ 7♠ J♠ Hit, Stand 50.00 -50.00

    split aces against a seven and the dealer of course gets 21 the only time I can ever remember splitting aces.

    That's a good one.

    You can't calculate any odds since the game is being played by a computer. Would need to see the code first I am going to assume it was written in ASP.net, C# on a SQL backend.

    A dealer hand wins on average ~52% of the time discounting ties. A dealer hand wins ~48% of the time including ties

    ~52%^(10) = .145%
    ~48%^(10) = .065%

    A push is not a loss. And even if it did count toward it, your numbers are still off. I just gave you the probabilities. Are you retarded?

    So you result to name calling to strengthen your stance? Fukkin dipshit. Boy that helped me wonder where you got your numbers, didnt it?

    Just show me the website you got your numbers, as I highly doubt you remember 6 digits past 0 for the hell of it.

    I didn't think it could happen.. especially not that quickly

    You should have kept going to see how many more losses you could have racked up.. set a record or something
