Why the Original Basic Strategy Makes You Lose Money


Before I explain the truth to you, I would like to invite you to participate in this game.
Imagine there is a new game in the casino today.
In a box are 13 coloured balls, 9 reds and 4 greens.
Imagine:
Red #1 Red #2 Red #3 Red #4 Red #5 Red #6 Red #7 Red #8 Red #9
Green #1 Green #2 Green #3 Green #4
Players can bet either red or green. Both red and green bets pay 1:1 on winning.
After all players have placed their bets, the device will jumble up the balls and pick one ball out.
Now, if you have $100 to bet in the above game, will you bet that red or green will be the winning colour in the next round?
Will you put your $100 betting that green will win?
Of course not. With an odds of 9 red to 4 green, Reds have a more than 2 to 1 probability of been the winning colour.
Anyone with common sense will never bet his money on the 4 greens correct? With a low 4 out of 14 chance.
If I were to replace the coloured balls with the familiar poker card instead, grouping them into two groups as numbers (Ace, 2 to 9) and pictures (ten-value cards- inclusive of 10, Jack, Queen and King).
Red
#1 is representative of the card Ace
#2 is representative of the card 2
#3 is representative of the card 3
#4 is representative of the card 4
#5 is representative of the card 5
#6 is representative of the card 6
#7 is representative of the card 7
#8 is representative of the card 8
#9 is representative of the card 9
Green
#1 is representative of the card 10
#2 is representative of the card Jack
#3 is representative of the card Queen
#4 is representative of the card King
Think about it.
So why is it that many players stand on their total of 12, 13 and 14?
On the other hand why is it that many other players hit their total of 15 and 16 foolishly?
By standing unnecessarily, you are throwing your bets into the drain. However, if you hit too aggressively, you will bust your hands too often and bankrupt yourself too quickly.
