2 Players, in a Casino that allows playing 2 players in a box and split one bet and the other player only plays one of the split bets.
Player 1 plays always minimum and is the owner of the box. Player 2 plays with player 1, but 20 times or 10 times the bet of player 1.
Player 1 always splits 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, the rest basic strategy. Player 2 only splits his bet, i.e. puts more money when the EV is positive, eg. splits 8s versus 6, but only plays 1 box when player 1 splits with a negative EV. So for example he can start with a 2 instead of a 4 against a 9 without putting too much money on the table.
What will this strategy yield, and does anyone know the optimum strategy of splitting by player 1?
This strategy is posible for example in most of the european casinos, the player with the smaller bet can decide the game.
