Blackjack Analysis is a revolutionary program that will give you the tools necessary
to win consistently. Five years of development, research, testing and field trials
have culminated into a manual and program that will:
Give you the means to find how a playing system will stand-up at the blackjack
table.
Give you a way to find a playing system that will win at the blackjack table
at the best possible rate.
Counting is not used in Blackjack Analysis. For most players, counting cards
takes the fun out of blackjack and for the time and effort it takes to learn
a counting system, it’s not worth the effort. For the most part, people
play without counting due to the efforts of the casinos to thwart counting;
i.e., continuous shuffling shoes, six deck shoes, frequent shuffling, etc.
With the help of Blackjack Analysis, the author plays very conservatively and
wins about 75% of the time. Using the application for more aggressive playing
systems can lead to even higher percentage of consistent winning at the blackjack
table. A player can use the application to find a playing system that is suited
to his personality, bankroll, how long he wants to stay at the table and his
general feeling about the game.
Blackjack Analysis, User's Manual
The user’s manual can be used as a stand alone manual to help you learn
about blackjack and at the same time, introduce you to blackjack analysis. But
more importantly, it is a manual to help you use the Blackjack Analysis program.
The manual covers the basics of blackjack including betting, the deal, playing
the game, basic strategy, the settlement, insurance, surrender, and some counting
methods. It then introduces blackjack analysis and explains how you can significantly
increase the chances of winning by analyzing the principles of the blackjack
game.
The manual shows how to effectively use the Blackjack Analysis computer application
to increase your chances of winning. It explains how to navigate through the
different menus and windows, and demonstrates how you can effectively change
parameters to find a betting strategy that not only matches your style of playing,
but one that will maximize your potential for winning. The manual also shows
instructions for entering fields, what the application finds, analysis of betting
strategies and includes samples of all the forms and reports.
Blackjack Analysis Program
The program is a user friendly application consisting of 10 forms along with
File and Forms menus attached to each main form. Through statistical data and
mathematical formulas, the program analyzes, interprets, and creates custom-tailored
strategies that will either examine your current betting strategy or create
a winning strategy for you. The program also consists of many printouts, displays,
graphs and other means to help you analyze your system. An extensive Help system
is included for any questions you might have regarding the application.
There are many different ways to play blackjack. As a matter of fact, the combination
of items that can be varied in order to find a "perfect" system is
in the millions. Blackjack Analysis is capable of examining all conditions,
but it could take awhile, even with the fastest computers. Therefore, the application
gives you the means to vary many variables in an attempt to find a good playing
condition, and it also provides different types of printouts and displays showing
the pros and cons of a system or systems, and the top 6 systems when running
the application in a "varying" mode. With this application, you can:
Automatically vary the time played.
Automatically vary the Winning and Losing Betting Strategies
Automatically vary the bankroll used.
Vary the initial bet.
Vary the Basic Strategy used. The Basis Strategy used in the application is
taken from very notable blackjack authors that have developed the strategy playing
millions of games, but you can modify the strategy if desired. For example,
you might want to try a system where you can never bust. The application will
let you do that and tell you the results.
Use any type of Winning Betting Sequence
Use any type of Losing Betting Sequence
Use a Progressive Winning Sequence but only use it every other winning or every
third win, etc.
Choose if and when a player should quit playing if he loses x number of hands
in a row.
Choose what should be done if the player wins or loses x times in a row.
Decide a high and low dollar limit such that if the player reaches a specified
amount in his winning, he can determine how much he should lose before quitting.
Decide if the betting sequence should be initialized after shuffling.
Choose up to three completely different betting techniques based on change in
bankroll.
Choose Surrender if available.
Choose if the Dealer hits on soft 17.
Choose if double down after split is allowed.
Choose if insurance should be taken if the player has a blackjack.
What the application finds
The application finds a number of items to determine the worthiness of a playing
condition. Probably the most important statistic is the Percent Of Sittings
Won. This is defined as the Number Of Times Won divided by the Number Of Sittings
Won plus Number Of Sittings Lost times 100. Breaking even is excluded in the
calculation. For example, suppose a person plays blackjack 20 times a year using
the same system. Each time this player sits down at the table, he plays one
sitting. If he plays 20 times, he has played 20 sittings. Suppose he has won
12 of those sittings. In that case, the Number Of Sittings equals 20 and Number
Of Sittings Won equals 12. Therefore:
| |
(Number Of Sittings Won)
|
|
| Percent Of Sittings Won = |
--------------------------------------
|
* 100 |
| |
(Number Of Sittings Won + Number Of
Sittings Lost) |
|
or
Percent Of Sittings Won = 12/20 * 100 = 60%.
Two other important definitions are Number Of Hands Per Sitting and Event. Number
Of Hands Per Sitting is the number of hands played when the player is at the
blackjack table. If he plays 240 hands, then the Number Of Hands Per Sitting
is 240. If a player plays 100 sittings at 240 hands per sitting using the same
blackjack system, then Number Of Sittings equals 100 and Number Of Hands Per
Sitting is 240. This is called an Event. Therefore, to play 100 sittings at
240 hands per sitting using the same system would be one Event of playing using
the system.
Number Of Hands Per Sitting is used in place of time played. The average blackjack
table plays about 80 hands per hour, therefore a time limit could be used based
on the number of hands played. For example, playing 240 hands would be the equivalent
of about three hours.
There are a total of 25 different items that are found by the application including
Percent Of Sittings Won, Win To Bet Percent, Condition Win Percent, Event Win/Loss,
Event Average Winning, Event Average Losing, etc. These are all explained in
the User’s Manual or the Help screens in the application. The results
of a system showing these items can be displayed, printed or saved for future
reference.
Final Objective
The final objective of the application is to find the best betting sequence,
combined with the right bankroll and time played, without the use of any card
counting techniques, that will result in winning at the blackjack table at the
best possible rate. This “final objective” can be different for
different players. It is dependent on how conservative or aggressive you are.
Generally, a player who uses a very conservative method of playing will lose
a lot less than the aggressive player. On the other hand, the conservative player
will usually win a lot less than the aggressive player. You should try to find
a blackjack system that is suited to your personality, bankroll, how long you
want to stay at the table and your general feeling about the game. Blackjack
Analysis will help you do that.
Extent of winnings or losings
Once you have found a good system, either by using the application or reading
about it in somebody’s book, the application can not only tell you everything
about the system in regards to Percent Of Sittings Won, Win To Bet Percent,
Condition Win Percent, Event Win/Loss, etc. but it can also tell you the extent
of your winnings or losings. For example, assume a player has a $300 bankroll
and feels he has a pretty good system. On the average, what percentage of the
sittings he plays can he expect to win $50 to $60? What percentage of the sitting
can he expect to win greater than $400? What percentage of the sittings can
he expect to lose the entire bankroll? Blackjack Analysis will find this for
you.
