Oh, no!  It's a very hard situation.

In the basic strategy of Blackjack, split is recommended.
But I think many players hesitate about whether to make a choice.

I conducted a Blackjack experiment to calculate the winning percentages for the three choices, split, hit and stay.

▼Experiment▼

▼Detailed Result▼
The following two graphs show the percentages of each outcome.

A couple of months ago, I collected 50 data in the same situation.
But the experiment was conducted under the European no hole card style.
It's a harsh style.

Then the following two graphs show the results based on the 100 data.

Get ready to lose at a rate of about 1/2 when you've decided it.
Focusing on the winning rate, I think it's no too bad.
During the experiment, there were only a few triple wins despite such a difficult situation.

Seeing the graph, we would make a despairing sigh.
Since two 8s is hand 16, if allowed, surrender is preferable to hitting it.

From this graph, stay is rather preferable to hit.
It's obvious that this choice is also disadvantageous.



The results except for a tie are as follows.

Winning Rate
Split 38%    Hit 19%    Stay 23%

The chip's fluctuation
Split -34 chips    Hit -59 chips    Stay -54 chips


After all, splitting 8s against D's 10 is the best of all the choices.


The renewal is done.
Hope it will be useful.
I wonder what article should be improved next.
Bye.
