uestion about split for riders

standford wong s basic blackjack have explains all pairs that riders should refuse to bet on the second hand after splited (page 75)

but i want to ask for more details

for DAS , isnt it assumed there is no resplit ? if I can resplit up to four hands , is there any hand that i should still bet on the second hand until to the last one that we can no more spilt again? (for example , 6 6 vs dealer 4, is that we should bet to the last hand until no more respiltting allowed) and anymore hand are such case ??

moreover ,is there any changes for this strategy if we are counting cards ? for high TC hands , will it be more often that a rider should bet on the second hands?? any details about how large is the TC that which hand we should still continous to bet as a rider ??

The basic idea is that the rider should only participate in a split if the expected value is positive.Since most splits have a defensive character (trying to lose less) you should not bring the second bet in these cases.
Your example 6/6 v 4 is a close call (DAS and possible resplit assumed)and I would say it's counter's-BS to follow suit (index +1).Anyway, you would not bet on somebody else in negative territory, would you?

so if its a TC1 or more

for 7 7 vs dealer 2

i should still bet on all the splits hands ?

7/7vs 2 needs a far higher count to become positive ev.So you better stay systematically on the first hand.

Hi -

apologies for this being off-topic - Francis, I cannot send you a PM on the board - I believe we played together this week (with my German colleague and our Chinese "table partners").

Would like to get in touch -

Thanks

D.

If you tell me how to contact you, I'll send you an e-mail.

Francis hi

Sorry - thought you'd be able to use the "send private mail" function (perhaps it does not work for all users ?)
