Maths of HI-LO game

Sorry mate, but why ?

66 \ 23 x221

Number of cards
(1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) (7) (8) (9) (10) (11) (12) (13)
 
  2H  3H  4H  5H  6H  7H  8H  9H  10H  JKH  QNH  KGH  AH
                    Computer predition
  H   H   H   H   H   H   L   L   L    L    L    L    L

(1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) (7) (6) (5)  (4)   (3) (2)  (1)

The odds vary depending on the first card drawn.

If say 9H is the 1st card the computer will predict lower.

Which leaves us with 5/7 (1.71)

So add up all of those fractions,

3H 1/11, 4H 2/10, 5H 3/9, 6H 4/8, 7H 5/7, 8H 6/6,
9H 5/7, 10H 4/8, JKH 3/9, QNH 2/10, KGH 1/11

Which should give us 1.375 total odds.

Sorry, forgot to add 2H   aceH

Corrected total odds : 1.32

Odds of 1.30 before betting !

Or 1.09, 1.2, 1.33, 1.5, 1.71, 2.00, depending on the 1ST card drawn.

Hope you get what I mean.

Hi One footed pony,

Any ideas as to the odds of a 5cc in BJ and more importanly how to do the calcs as I suspect we are dealing with permutations rather than combinations. Or is this a question a should be posing to Grunweld ?

Thanks for your time

Just sit and watch the games.
If and when any scenario comes up that you want to price, just look at the screen.
The bid and lay odds on offer will be perfectly weighted on either side of the correct, perfect odds. So just take the mid-point.
Slow but sure.

Yes I'm still here, but no one is any further advanced in their grail quest I see.
As FAFH indicates it is a complete waste of time to calculate the odds for any betting scenario on x-games.  So better to concentrate on other things.

50/1

Never seem to see you on the GBF.
Don't you sports bet at all ?

As you can imagine, with the expected pts total being 33 on average, 21 is a shot in the dark, so don't expect it to come up very often.

I do sports bet, I just don't talk about it on the forums very much.

Having said that, any cards below 4 would be excellent. But don't forget that the average to expect from the draw, would be between 6 and 7, so that should help you to decide whether to bet or not.

A pity Grunweld.
Given your obvious good IQ from how you post on here, your input sometimes on the GBF might be interesting to read.
