One other small thing i noticed is that Jackbot will always stand on a Soft 19 or 20, even if you have four cards in your hand....  In other words it doesn't go for a 5-card Charley even when it's guaranteed.

For example, if you have a: 2, 4, 2, Ace.  That's either 9 or 19 points.  Now if you Stand, you will either win and advance two spaces, or you will lose and go back one space.  But, if you hit, you are guaranteed to get a 5-Card Charley and advance three or four spaces guaranteed. 

I know it's not really important, but just something to note for possible future upgrades.  Overall I'm very happy with the auto and have registered my copy.

I noticed you mentioned 50 tokens. The probabilities predict an overall token loss from game play (even if only a small loss). I suggest you drop your bet down to 5 tokens.


I thnk that with the guaranteed 3 to 2 win for a "Five card Charley" there is likely a very very small positive expectation.  Normal BJ rules don't include that though, so It will take a while to confirm.

Of course the probabilities suggeset a general trend to losing tokens when playing BlackJack. How do you think casinos make their money? It definately isn't on the buffets.

Disabling double down is a good idea.  I've stopped doubling down in my own games for that very reason.  50 extra tokens isn't really worth a missed opportunity for advancement. 

I always split 10s when the dealer has a 4, 5 or 6 and my rock is at the bottom.  Odds are good that'll he will bust and I'll advance four.  If not, I haven't lost any progress.

'Always split' does not make sense at any point.

JackBot uses the best split strategy available based on actual probabilities. The rule of large numbers means JackBot's split strategy will advance you faster over the long run than an 'always split' strategy will over the long run.


JackBot is a great auto Bob, so do not let anyone tell you different either.  I has taken me to rank 22 in less then 2 days.  Good Going Bob...... O0

Would 'always split' make more sense if the rock was already at the very bottom? :)

I think you would have a better chance by entering my contest. I doubt badgehelp would let you trade auto for another one. If they did that everyone would have a reason they wanted to trade it in. That's like telling Microsoft I don't like Windows 98 anymore, you can have it back now give me XP for free.

As long as you're not counting cards, Basic Strategy is A-OK at casinos. O0

But I don't think they'll allow an auto   ;).

Well, I guess I'll just have to bring Dustin Hoffman with me then. :P

Wapner at 5... time to go to KMart...
