I made an app to calculate exact EV and optimal strategy for Black Jack.

Originally I made it in a Google Sheet/Excel. The calculations are much clearer in Excel, so DM me if you want a copy :)

Johnny_Bonk•3w ago
Yes plz haha

Can I get a copy please!
prolly97•3w ago
ofc, if you don't want the Excel sheet, you can find my contact details in my profile. Otherwise you get free access to the web version (which is far better), just by signing in with Google (you don't actually have to sign up to anything through the affiliate link, you can just wait out the timer).

Blackjack. Or, in your sentence, "blackjack".

A Black Jack is a celebrity described as Lastname Firstname.
