Player Strategies Descriptions Last updated: 8/16/2002
* Player GUI Specs
  1. Take Even Money (Blackjack vs Ace)
    1. Player takes 1:1 payout when they have a blackjack and the dealer is showing an Ace if the option is available.
  2. Surrender When Appropriate
    1. If the player does not believe their first two cards will win they may take back half their bet and forfeit the hand. Generally, this is only offered after the dealer checks for blackjack.
  3. Betting Strategies
    1. Constant
      1. The Player bets the same amount each time.
    2. 10% of bankroll or table minimum.
      1. The player bets 10% of their cash unless it is less than the table minimum, in which case the bet is the table minimum. Thus, the player wagers more or less according to how well they have done so far. In this application (as with most casinos) bets are rounded to whole dollars.
    3. 1-2-3 Notching
      1. The player bets a single unit until a hand is won. After winning a hand the bet is increased to 2 units for the next hand. If the second hand wins, the player bets 3 units for the third hand. The idea is that the player is playing with their original bet as well as the houses money after winning the first hand. After winning the second hand, the player takes back their original bet and plays the third hand (3 units) with the houses money.
    4. 1-2-4 Notching
      1. When the player wins a hand, the bet is doubled for the next hand. This is repeated for a specified number of hands (usually 2 or 3).
    5. Double After Loss
      1. When the player looses a hand, the bet for the next hand is twice the previous bet, upto the table limit (currently a static $5000) . The bet returns to it's default value when a hand is won.
