The dealer hitting soft 17 is quite a difference! Naturally Party hits soft 17

What difference does it make what the house edge is? If you want to lose your money on blackjack, or make stupidly huge bets and hope to win big or go bust, a .5% edge and a 1% edge are about the same to you.

wait a second you are going to play blackjack with a continuous shuffle each hand, on the internet against a company that can act without answering to anyone? I mean if there was ever a situation for party to rig something blackjack would be it. Oh BTW I lost 5 bills the first night Paradise had blackjack (and it was fishy, there would be really long pauses (like the program was thinking) when I had larger amounts of money. Go try it for yourself.

They have no reason to cheat. They cheat you lose more then why would you play. Sucking the money out of you slowly is always best with a legit advantage

I believe party states that they go 1/10th into an 8 deck before reshuffling. Dont currently have my PBA program downloaded, but im guessing with the 1-200 spread they allow and a level 1 count, you could eek out some. But, then again, using kelly criterion, it would probably take a rather large BR. Anybody got PBA and can run the stats for me????

1. I don't see it being very realistic to get any kind of edge when they only deal less than 1 deck of an 8-deck shoe.
Maybe if you spread 1-40 or so and were willing to deal with some REALLY high freaking variance. But I don't even think this would work. You would need a running-count of +16 after a half-deck just to get to a true-count that would approach break-even. How often will you have a RC of +16 after the first 26 cards? By that time it's almost time to shuffle again anyway. I just don't think it can be profitable with such short penetration. 2. Do you even get to know when they actually shuffle? Obviously this would be necessary too. 3. To the original poster. Without looking up anything...I would guess that an 8-deck 'mostly' continuous-shuffle game with S17 has a house-advantage in the 1.5% range. |
