Couple of questions, feel free to correct my assumptions as I've only ever played backjack casually at a casino after a conference.

- I'm guessing that the configurable decision matrix is only of use because of the card counting right? Because I was under the impression that there is already a "perfect" blackjack strategy (that the casinos even give you as an instructional card because they have their house edge anyway) assuming standard rules and no counting whatsoever.

- is the bet scheme for kelly criterion so you can figure out how long on average your bankroll would exist given a certain amount of counting?

- is this a way to figure out how to play to maximise your drinks comps in Vegas given a certain bankroll? :-) /s

Looking forward to seeing your videos posted.
