The above resource has become the New Blackjack Bible! The search engines are “learning… mathematics”, namely calculating a wide variety of odds in blackjack. More and more students of ‘blackjack math’ are referred to the Web page created by the Blackjack Master Emeritus.

The eBook, however, is focused on blackjack. The good news is that there is more encompassing software –
The Best All-Purpose Software to Calculate Odds/Probability, Including for the Game of Blackjack.

The best apps are:

Let’s work out a few case scenarios. Most accurate probability ‘to win’ for the blackjack player: 0.451; odds ‘to lose’: 0.549.

A. LOSE — p=0.549
-------------------------------
1) What is the probability to lose 13 consecutive blackjack hands – at the beginning of the game?
• Run SuperFormula, function ‘E = Exactly M Successes in N Trials’
• Answer for probability p=0. 549:’1 in 2430’ (once in 2430 bj games).

2) What is the probability to lose 13 consecutive blackjack hands – in the first100 blackjack hands?
• Run Streaks, function ‘1 = I Know p – Run Once’
• Answer: 0 (it takes 2430 hands to see one streak of 13 losing hands).

3) What is the probability to lose ‘exactly’ 13 blackjack hands in the first100?
• Run SuperFormula, function ‘E = Exactly M Successes in N Trials’
• Answer: ‘1 in 4 followed by 31 digits’ (virtually zer0).

4) What is the probability to lose ‘at least’ 13 blackjack hands in the first100?
• Run SuperFormula, function ‘L = At Least M Successes in N Trials’
• Answer: ‘~100%’ (virtually all the time, my computer sez).

5) What is the probability to lose ‘at most’ 13 blackjack hands in the first100?
• Run SuperFormula, function ‘M = At Most M Successes in N Trials’
• Answer: ‘1 in 3 followed by 31 digits’ (virtually “never happens”).


B. WIN — p=0. 451
------------------------------
6) What are the odds to win 13 consecutive blackjack hands – at the beginning of the game?
• Run SuperFormula, function ‘E = Exactly M Successes in N Trials’
• Answer for probability p=0.451:’1 in 31312’ (once in 31,312 bj games).

7) What are the odds to win 13 consecutive blackjack hands – in the first100 blackjack hands?
• Run Streaks, function ‘1 = I Know p –Run Once’
• Answer: 0 (it takes 31312 hands to see one streak of 13 losing hands).

8) What are the odds to win ‘exactly’ 13 blackjack hands in the first100?
• Run SuperFormula, function ‘E = Exactly M Successes in N Trials’
• Answer: ‘1 in 199989986867’ (virtually zer0).

9) What are the odds to win ‘at least’ 13 blackjack hands in the first100?
• Run SuperFormula, function ‘L = At Least M Successes in N Trials’
• Answer: ‘0.999999999998928’ (virtually surefire).

10) What are the odds to win ‘at most’ 13 blackjack hands in the first100?
• Run SuperFormula, function ‘M = At Most M Successes in N Trials’
• Answer: ‘1 in 164682221206’ (virtually “never happens”).

There is a huge discrepancy between losing and winning in blackjack. Despite what you’ve read, blackjack is far worse than hopes. Everybody can witness the hard truth every day of every year of grace in any casino of this once-blessed world.

At the end of this nightmarish year 2020, I wish you the best of luck, axiomatics!
