BacPlayer Posted October 7, 2016 Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 Hello experts. Have you seen the movie 21. For folks who don't know or not seen it's a classic movie of the blackjack card counting invented by MIT students and later took Vegas for millions. Watch it if you have not done so. There is a mathematic probability game situation in the movie where the students are presented with 3 boxes. The student is allowed to pick 1 box contains which contains gold and you are given only 2 chances to get lucky. One student (the hero) selects the Box no 1. The teacher reveals that box no 2 is empty. He immediately switches his selection to box no 3 as his choice of selection. Because it has a higher possibility. Don't understand why. I have a nagging question. All the triggers point to Banker bet in blackjack. And then we hit a tie. Should we switch to Player by the above anomaly? I know we don't care about Ties in BTC.But what would you personally do if you have to with gut instincts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Users ECD Posted October 7, 2016 Users Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 It's a very old math trick -- you increase your odds of winning by switching your choice. Just google it, it is all explained. The tie situation in Bac is not even remotely the same as the static math problem you site. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
