Single-deck
As is usually the case, the single-deck results are very different. Where there was little gain from constant recalculation in the shoe game above, the single-deck game sees a great deal of improvement. Again this is due to the increased importance of playing efficiency in single-deck games and the greater volatility of counts due to the small number of remaining cards. A few extra cards counted means little when playing with 312 cards, but clearly makes a difference with only 52 cards. The single-deck sims had three players. More players would increase the blue gain somewhat.
Note: In all sims on other pages, the true count is always recalculated for every decision.
