Default Re: Blackjack probabilities

Stanford Wong's Professional Blackjack has EV'S for all starting cards for all actions for 1 deck and for 6 decks This is not win probability, but win probability can be calculated from it.

Note: If you don't double or split when appropriate, you are not playing correct basic stratgy and are giving up quite a bit of EV.

Also, there are two common variations of the dealer's "normal rules" for hitting and standing. Dealer hits all hands > 16 and stands on all hands >= 17 (commonly abreviated as S17) , and dealer hits all hands < 16 and all soft 17's and stands on all hard 17's and all hands > 17 (H17). The S17 version has a lower house advantage.
