Re: [vpFREE] Re: Triple deck??

(Theoretically speaking) card Counting a 5 deck VP machine? OMG, I think I just got a headache thinking about it. Hah, you could hit a full house and a flush on the same hand!


It seems weird to say you can not know how many decks are in play, especially since I've never seen nor heard of (from a reputable source) a suited pair (i.e.: two 5 of diamonds) on the same hand.


Theoretically, if VP had more than 1 deck, but was programmed so that no suited pair could be shown in the same hand (even discarding an ace of spades then redrawing an ace of spades)......I'd have to think the game would have the same odds/return. For instance, a four card Royal draw has a 1/47 chance of connecting to a royal flush. With 2 decks in play, the chances would go to 2/94 (since there exist 5 cards that cannot be repeated, but 2 of each, i.e. 104-10=94).


So even IF there were multiple decks in a single line VP game, and assuming it's impossible to ever get a suited pair, then it wouldn't matter if it plays from 1 deck or 500 decks, as the odds would be the exact same.




As far as video BJ, some machines have 1 deck and others have 2 decks (not including the "big tit" machines). And it tells you how many decks are in the shoe when you hit HELP PAYS/RULES button. Of course, they *could* be lying about how many decks are in play, but again, if there exists a rule (in the software) that says no suited pair is possible, then the odds should be the exact same on two decks vs single deck, like it would be in VP.


Plus, that'd be an incredibly stupid thing to lie about.
