If you specify that 'Side Bets are Merged', then CVData checks them in the order specified until it finds a winner. That's the only thing I could think of that would account for your TC being half of mine.Bella, That's the only thing I could think of that would account for your TC being half of mine. Are you, perhaps, using, a half deck true count? But I still come out with TC +8 for when the EV The fact that the theoretical house edge is so close to the simmed house edge indicates, to meĪnyway, that the side bet setups are in order. This side bet since 'Suited 20' would also include '2 King of Spades', '2 Suited Kings', etc. I wasn't sure how the software would pay off

'suited' for the player hand, which pays 9:1. For example, when setting up the side bet for 'Suited 20', I entered '20' and My concern was that, when setting up the side bet parameters that there may have been some I had entered them correctly in the CVData sim.įor the side bet only, I calculated the theoretical house edge for an 8 deck game as 15.486%.Ī 2 billion round sim gave me a house edge for the side bet of 15.568%. I got the 2 King of Spades and the Suited Kings When I used his paytable in my 8D CVData sim, I got an EV of -22.557%: in good agreement with WoO's -22.47% value. The WoO shows a different paytable for Kings Bounty: see and search for it. I then ran another sim (8D, H17, DA2, DAS)and found that, with 7/8 pen, if a player flat-bet $100 per round on BJ, and bet $100 on the SB when the TC is +4 or higher, he would have an overall +EV: he'd make a whopping $2.30/hr! I ran a CVData sim with the adjusted paytable and found the SB is +EV at HiLo +4 and higher. Can anybody confirm my results?Bella,Īre you sure about the paytable? For one thing, I would think the 1000:1 payout would required two kings of SPADES, rather than just suited kings. I ran a sim for the Kings Bounty side bet for an 8 deck game and I came out with a positive ev at TC +8 and above using Hi-Lo.
