Default Re: Is this BJ game beatable?

I'm no blackjack expect so take this with a pinch of salt. I put your settings through BlackJack Audit. However, it would only let me do a 1-99 bet spread. This was using a Uston Advanced P/M counting system. It resulted in 0.5 % house edge. However, I got a lower house edge (0.3%) using a standard spread, so I could have made a mistake. Without counting, the house edge came out at around 0.6%.

With 10% penetration, we get a count of 2 exactly 0.022% of the time!!!

Keep in mind that your bankroll should allow for 100x max bets. Spreading 1-200 requires a 20K bankroll. Of course you can come in for less, but that increases your Risk of Ruin.

This game seems like a waste of time. Assuming you do see a +2 count (giving you about a .5% advantage) your only going to earn $1 on your $200 bet.
Believe me a count of +2/+3 won't come along often with only 10% pen.

I can see it now. Make $1 bets for 6 hours. Finally a +2 true count! Bet 200. You get 17, dealer shows 10. Stand. Dealer has 20. shuffle.
