Re: Safest way to clear the golden palace bonus?
Deposited, bet big, held on a 16 against a dealers 7, shut my eyes, dealer flipped over 13 and drew a 7 to win. Stupid +ev bets [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

If I'm not mistaken you should hit 16 vs a dealers 7.

Re: Safest way to clear the golden palace bonus?
I would like to know the % of times you win money IN A SINGLE HAND. The problem is that BJ pays 3:2 so that means that you must be winning less than 49.xx % of the time on a given single hand, if you ignore ties.
Anyone? Also, which chart do you use for the cryptos? The chart listed at wizardofodds is for "dealer hits on soft 17." Does it make a big difference? I have only cleared w/ BJ once, having primarily played pontoon. Thanks, psw |

Thanks, psw [/ QUOTE ] Furthermore, you can't double down or split your bad hands like 88 when you have bet all your money. Does anyone know the true odds of success on a single hand with these restrictions? |

Reason being you will simply draw more winners. |
