Need win-rate for H17 D10 double-deck

Hi all,

After reading Don's book and using his "greatest blackjack simulation"
chapter to size up games, I was dismayed to see that it omitted an
analysis of D10 double deck games that are becoming pretty pervasive these days. Can anyone out there help me with the unit win/100 for
this game for these pen. levels using Don's baseline assumptions? (eg: hi-lo, I18, etc.)

1-4
1-8
1-16
1-20

Any response would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

This sort of game is not shown in Don's book because it is not worth playing. Even a single deck game with D10 must have excellent penetration in order to be playable.

A double deck game with 52 card pen (50%) is not really playable, even with good rules. 62 cards is borderline, even with excellent rules. With H17 and D10 it falls into the "don't waste your time/money" category.

If this is the only game in your area, you would be better off saving your money so you can leave the area and find a decent game.

is what I'd like to find out. Your (and LVBear's) response indicate that you know the unit win/100 for the spreads/pen I provided (I characterized the spreads in the original memo as pen by accident)
would you be willing to share them with me?

I live in a 6D 2.0 region where these DD games exist as the only alternative to them. It recently became possible to push my spreads on this DD game from 8x1 to 20x1 and I'm trying to size that delta up relative to the crummy 6d games here that I can readily analyze with BJA.

BJA shows the Single-deck D10 game as poor but it improves vastly more rapidly than 6D does as spreads increase. Double-deck win rates
also improve rapidly with spreads for the games listed relative to 6D but not as rapidly as SD so the big question is: at what spread levels does this become a decent game RELATIVE to the 6D alternatives?

Thanks for replying, Parker; I'd sure appreciate it if you could share those win rates my friend!

It is just an approximation but the answer should be fairly close, using the chapter on the blackjack formula:

Here is the link, you want to use chapter 3.

The answers are for average, or jumped, spreads. Your actual spread is probably a bit, or even a great deal, under the raw range of your bets.

I hope this helps. This is just the free version.
