Hi Everyone,
New to the site here.
Does anyone know if the blackjack strategy game and trainer on the wizard of odds website is programmed different than what it should normally be?
I have been using the trainer for 5 working days now to get used to the basic blackjack strategy and rules. I have not been using any betting system other than what the basic blackjack strategy lies out, and have only been placing $1 opening bets before doubling and splitting. For some reason, every day, I am able to make a profit. I start with a bankroll of $1000 and go up $100 per day. Some days it will take my 6 hours and other days it will take 8, etc. It all depends on my luck.
But my question is, if the house has a 1.5% edge on Blackjack, how do I keep coming up in the positive? Have I had a lucky streak for 5 days straight. Theoretically I should be going down in the negative or at even breaking even. Honestly I assume that you are guaranteed to lose money in blackjack and there really is no way around it other than counting cards. So my thought is, that the program is mainly there to teach users how to use the strategy and not so much rely on the odds of the cards.
Does anyone have any light on this? Thanks for any help you can give.

Hi Ase,
Welcome to the forum.
I would expect that the Wizard's trainer is representative of reality. Short of the industrial level of accuracy and randomness of a true game, but I'm sure it would be negligible difference.
Now, you say that each day you have managed to turn 1000 into 1100. Well, that is absolutely unremarkable. On a low edge game ( And I expect the edge on that game is actually<1% ) you would expect that daily success with about 90% probability ( 1000/1100)
http://wizardofvegas.com/member/oncedear/blog/2/#post1370
To see such success on 5 straight days, you'd still have a probability of .9^5 = 62% or so. really nothing remarkable there. That's the nature of the game. The house edge does not steadily and relentlessly deplete your bankroll over the short term. You will see lots of winning sessions from time to time. Just like the real game.
It's that variance that makes the game fun to play.
If you are enjoying the game, you're already winning.

Thanks OnceDear, I like your math. I'm actually practicing the basic strategy for when I go to Vegas next week. I will be there for about 6 days and am sure to be gambling for at least 3 of them. I'm bringing $200 bucks to play with strictly for playing adult video games (gambling) and a little bit extra for tipping for free drinks.
I'm pretty certain I can get a few extra laughs in and not lose my money quite as quick as normal when using the basic strategy, and get drinks worth way more than i'm gambling.
Thanks for the help!

Two top tips. Shun 6:5 Blackjack which seems to be pushing 3:2 Blackjack off the strip and if playing blackjack always have a backup mini bankroll in case your regular bankroll cannot meet a need to double or split.

I prefer the much better odds in conventional blackjack table games, but sometimes I just want a free drink at the local pub. So I'm stuck playing video blackjack, which has wacky rules. Examples are: Blackjack pays even money, double allowed only on 10 or 11, split only once, no double after split. Mostly negative, right? Also: you win on any six cards and dealer stands on soft 17.
If all you want is a free drink, I think it's still the best option in front of you because of low volatility. The only problem is the lack of any strategy charts. Can anyone help?

BlackjackInfo.com has a basic strategy engine, so you can plug in some of those rules.

The 6-card Charlie changes your strategy a little. You'll need this strategy chart to supplement:
http://wizardofodds.com/blackjack/strategy/charlie.html
Blackjack paying even money won't change your strategy at all, but of course it significantly puts the advantage in the house's favor. You can see the positive or negative effect of those rules under 'Rule Variations' here:
http://wizardofodds.com/blackjack
Blackjacks pay 1 to 1 -2.27%
Player may double on 10,11 only -0.18%
Player may not double after splitting -0.14%
Player may not resplit -0.10%
Six card Charlie +0.16%
The total house advantage for this game is probably around 2.9% (compared with <0.5% for most good table games). I'd play it for free drinks if it was nickels!

Thanks for the good tips, especially the Charlie chart, which I didn't know existed.
I usually feed a 10 in and play for 50 cents/hand. With beer averaging 3-6 bucks and mixed drinks going for 4-10, it's at worst a break-even proposition. I'm sure the longer you play the more the odds bend to the bar.
boymimbo
So at 2.9% at 50 cents a hand you are looking at $.0145 loss. It would take about 200 hands to get to the $3 beer and 600 hands to get to the max value drink. Given that you probably play 6 hands / minute, a drink per 1/2 hour would be fairly economical. 180 hands would cost you about $2.61.

I used to play a video blackjack that was by Bally and it offered the Double Up feature. I looked at it as free odds, and would usually try to double twice. I wonder what '2x odds' does to the HA?

Yes it does. You may want to consider doubling-down if the dealer has a bust card.
Superstitions are silly, childish, irrational rituals, born out of fear of the unknown. But how much does it cost to knock on wood? 😁 Note that the same could be said for Religion. I.E. Religion is nothing more than organized superstition. 🤗

I don't think you can. If I remember right, most vidoe BJ games show BJ and pay you out.

I forgot you were talking about a bar-top machine.
The only time I'd double on a BJ (or a soft 20) was at the $1 tables at Sahara. The BJ pays even money, so I doubled against a 5. I won.
But I did it really just to get the reaction. It really screws with people's heads. Tons of fun. It's the most entertainment you can get for a buck!

Wow, there are actually table games in vegas where a BJ pays even money... that's just crazy!

Yeah, Sahara. One pit is $1 tables, pays 1:1, but pays 6:5 if the bet is $5 or more. And they don't process your player's card. The other pit is $5 tables, 3:2 and they DO take the player's card. I don't remember if there were other rules differences.

I only stayed there because it was close enough to the convention center, and the rooms were $26.
