Hey DD and friends,
I've been having a slight disagreement with my good buddy Alex Mundy as of late, and I hope you might settle a little bone of contention.
My sims say that a 1-8 spread, single deck, H17, 4 rounds to 2 players, will return 4 units per 100 hands (4.24 to be exact, with a 35.44 unit SD)
I play exclusively single deck, try for heads up, generally rule of 7+...half are D10, the other half DOA and D9. Grinding it out as a red chipper, I am also fond of dropping my minimum down to $2 if table minimums will allow (effectively creating a 1-20 spread).
I feel my games I play are a touch better than the simmed one.
My real world results (up to last night, anyway) are 4.53 units over the last 150 hours (3 weeks).
Alex says I'm a nutty granola boy, and that my real world numbers are closer to 2 units an hour. I think he's just jealous, 'cause he knows I'm the greatest blackjack player in the world.
Any input is appreciated.
Cheers!
Syph
(PS I use a simple, unbalanced count, and play it like a machine. No cover, next to no tipping...I average about 8 hours a day. Yeah, I get a few back-offs, but I generally fly below radar.)
