Belated Replies... Hope Don Doesn't See This!
jesse shepard,
In this post you asked:
If you were to use this betting spread outlined here what would you be looking at for a dollar per hour win rate?
If you're getting 100 rounds per hour and have a $10K BR, using the play-all strategy you'd earn $37.32/hr, while using the wonging strategy you'd earn $56.20/hr. For other bankrolls, simply adjust these values proportionally: thus, for a $5K BR the numbers would be $19.66/hr and $28.10/hr. For other speeds, also adjust proportionally: thus, for a $10K BR with 200 rounds/hr (not hard to accomplish), the results would be $74.64/hr and $112.40/hr.
In another contemporaneous post, you asked:
Why do most books say to have your max bet out at a count of 4? Your spread suggests that it should not be out untill (sic) a count of +9.
Good question! Actually, for the play-all strategy, you would place your max bet at +4. The entire schedule is as follows: TC<=0, $11; TC=1, $39; TC=2, $85; TC=3, $132, and TC>=4, $174.
Earlier I gave the bet schedule for the wonging strategy, at which the max bet is placed at a TC of +9 and above, as you mentioned.
The reason why you wait longer to place your max bet when wonging is because you're playing a much stronger game. Notice that at TC's where the two strategies overlap, +2 to +4, the wonging bet is always significantly higher than the play-all bet.
Finally, I'm sorry I took so long to respond to your queries. I was on an extended (and extremely successful) BJ trip, and I have to confess I failed to bring along either of my copies of BJA3... I hope Don doesn't see this part ;-)
Hope this helps!
