I want to thank the members of the group for the kind and helpful replies they have given me in the recent as a new poster here.
For studying the game of 6 deck blackjack I have created a spreadsheet which makes a list of values associated with cards in a shoe game. If this turns out that I need a macro I will post question in the macro subform perhaps but I would like to get the basics down first. I hope that is acceptable.
I will outline its framework herein for those with patience. A row of random numbers is next to the values that make up a scrambled or pseudo "shuffled" shoe of cards. The values are not card values but simply the count number associated with the card. A multiplier based on risk which does not change but can be changed acts upon the bankroll and accumulated numbers to size the proper bet. If the expectation of outcome is negative a number is subtracted from 20000 or added if positive and a rand between function acts upon both the top and bottom of that range. In the long run if I have a 1 percent advantage in certain circumstances I should produce a positive result an extra 1 in 100 times. One player playing the dealer will use about 12 cards on average every round of hands so I pull over into another column that result every 12 rows. At the bottom of the sheet positive results and negative results are produced and a result is obtained. That changes every time I get it to make a new random number set by pressing a key in my primitive infantile learning times.
I would like to make that new random number that is produced find itself as a plot on a graph that I can take out 10s of 1,000s of repetitions summing itself along the way. The result should give me a crude representation of what we call in blackjack my expected value and I could determine when I have overcome my standard deviation at the current and various bet levels and also change the bankroll as needed. I should work on a way to award myself the extra 150% payout given on blackjacks but that can come later.
I suppose it sounds like I want the world delivered to me on a silver platter but I have a feeling this group enjoys this sort of battle. If so please comment and thanks for reading my post.
