The guy has claimed 50 winning hands in a row. Claims a speed of $100-$5000. And that pit folks don't care if players win.
What a fucking forum.
I think it was 60, but who cares.
I don't want to read all the posts, I have too much going on right now.
Please can you just tell me the HPH and your appropriate edge (in percentage format)?
Or has someone (tableplay?) done the math?
Yes, Mdawgs claim was
60 straight winning blackjack hands. That is what I meant to type. I guess I typed 50 and didn't realize it. I am also aware that he later backtracked from that after Wizard got involved and told him it was all but impossible. Similarly to the way he changed 7 months of winning hundreds of thousands to "about even" after Wizard got involved.
But enough about him.
I don't know or didn't at the time the exact edge. THAT is what I was seeking by asking several people and posting about it. I wanted to know the advantage and what the play was worth. The HPH, I initially thought were 100 to 120. That is what I told the two players I asked privately. That may be why their estimates or answers as to what the play was worth per hour were different. BUT, now after having played the game for many hours over the 9 week period, I now believe my HPH estimate was high. I now believe it might have been 90 or so. And that might account for why our actual results were $162 and hour compared to the numbers given me of $200 and over $200. Or that could just be a little negative variance.
Because the play is over, I don't see the sense in now trying to figure it out further. It isn't going to change what we made. And I doubt I am going to see another identical play.
It is funny, back in mid March, when I was seeking these answers, I received 2 answers privately and Wizard wasn't one of them. Wizard would only give me what I was asking if I cut him in and gave him the play. And I posted on two forums, including here. NOT a single person responded. Maybe you weren't around at that time, I don't know. But not a single person responded. Now all of the sudden, after the play is over, everyone is interested in the math. I needed the math BEFORE the play.
If people didn't want to help me out at that time, that is fine. But don't come at me now after the fact with all this shit.
