Define Blackjack Betting Strategies
This screen provides the ability to create or modify Blackjack betting strategies. There are two types of betting strategies: Basic and Advanced. 98% of sims will use the Basic Strategies as they include the features generally found in simulators. Advanced Strategies are used for highly complex cover schemes and will be explained later.
Configuration
To configure a Betting Strategy, you must first hit New or Open, and then fill in the screens controlled by the tool bar buttons: Rules and Sit Out. Buttons that have been dimmed apply only to Advanced Strategies.
New
You can create as many strategies as you would like. It you wish to create a new strategy, click on the New button. An Explorer-like tree will be displayed with three folders, Standard, Advanced and User Strategies. You can base your new strategy on an existing one if you wish. If so, open one of the folders and click on an existing strategy. Then, enter the name of your new strategy. Click Init, and your new strategy will be created, initialized to look like the selected one and you will be taken to the Rules or Bets screen depending on the type of strategy.
Open
To modify an existing strategy, click on the Open button. An Explorer-like tree will be displayed with one folder: User Strategies. (You cannot modify an included strategy.) Click on an existing strategy and then click Open. The selected strategy will be loaded and you will be taken to the Rules or Bets screen. The Delete button provides the ability to remove an old strategy and Rename provides for a name change.
