What I meant was... If that hand was dealt to you...what would you do? First, I wouldn't bet my last $280 not knowing what hand I would be dealt.(NATURALLY) Second, I wouldn't put another $280 in my account and risk a $560 loss. Though I realize that spliting is the proper thing to do. But, with $280 in YOUR account and without an infusion of another $280 YOU couldn't split. Do YOU not split on the 8/8 an take a shot that YOU won't go over 21? Or would YOU have made the additional deposit? TALK ABOUT A CATCH 22 ![]()

Caruso did the proper thing after the bet was made. There should be no argument. But the proper bet before is to always have enough for doubles and splits.

I would never bet my whole bankroll on one hand in BJ because of the splits and doubles, but if I did, I would have deposited more money and split the 8's. The expected returns in betting units are 0.32 (split), -0.41 (hit), -0.51 (stand), so splitting is much better than hitting, and it actually has a positive expectation, even if it did not work in this case. To look at it another way, you expect to make 73% profit on the extra money you bet by splitting. I will take a bet with 73% expected profit any day. |
