Blackjack Strategy

What do you think of splitting 10s?

In the basic strategy of Blackjack, stay is recommended.

I think many BJ players stand on the pair as a matter of course.

And then, players who split 10s are in the minority.

I always choose stay and don't know their feelings.

I wonder why they choose split.

Then I decided to conduct a Blackjack experiment and examine whether there's a big difference of each winning percentage.

A couple months ago I collected 50 data in the same situation under the European no hole card style. (never recorded on video)

Results of the experiment

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

I have never drawn such a impressive graph!
We would win at a rate of about 4/5.
We can be aggressive.
During the experiment, I realized that the player could win easily.
In most cases, the dealer's hand was 17-19.

It's difficult to mention a positive aspect.
Seeing the losing percentages, we would not lose at a rate of 71%.
Unfortunately, who thinks it a good point?

The results except for a tie

are as follows:

Winning Percentages

Stay 92%    Split 56%

The chip's fluctuation

Stay +74 chips    Split +20 chips

 (Bet amount: 1 chip every time)

To sum up, we definitely stand on 10s as hand 20 against Dealer's 9.

To players who try to split 10s, we shouldn't complain of their decision, but kindly suggest it would be much more beneficial to choose stay.

That's all.

Hope this article will be useful.

Good luck.

Bye.
