Best BlackJack Strategy (Thorp's Rule)

This strategy was devised by a guy named Ed Thorp, who used an algorithm to workout the best way to play BlackJack hands. Playing with his rules will bring you to around 50/50 against the house (assuming a single, standard deck), so a certain level of card counting and risk management knowledge will be required to have an advantage (as opposed to a disadvantage).

To use this program, simply enter in your cards/hand value followed by the dealer's face up card. Some examples of how to format this are presented below:

e.g.
21 - 2
18 - Jack
Ace/10 - Queen
Queen/Queen - 7
3/3 - 4
