so even if everything in that paper is VALID mathematically, in reality it will not work because blackjack in casinos is DIFFERENT game then one that is played in this paper.

it‘s a mathematical excursion… it‘s not meant to be a real life applicable thing. read the article before posting please :)
you're right! The article is not about the usual blackjack but a continuous version of the game, however I find interesting to understand this kind of problems. And maybe some day the casinos will start playing this version of the game ;)
The paper isn't claiming anywhere to tell you how to play in casinos.
