Summary

·         Hands Played – The total number of hands including Splits.

·         Hands skipped – Indicates hands not played in a seat due to “Wonging” or if the player skips some hands to vary the number of players. A column will also appear showing the percentage of rounds played.

·         Action – The total dollars bet per hour.

·         Win Rate – The dollars won per hour.

·         Units W/L – The overall winnings in units.

·         TBA – The Total Bet Advantage. That is, the gain or loss per total amount bet.

·         IBA – The advantage related to the Initial Bet (before double downs and Splits, normally referred to as EV). This is the advantage published in nearly all BJ books.

·         Standard Error – Relates to the Advantage.

·         Standard Deviations – Quoted by Round, Hour, 100 Rounds, or Shoe.

·         DI – The Desirability Index as defined in Don Schlesinger’s book, Blackjack Attack. The higher the DI, the better the game’s advantage versus risk.

·         SCORE – A method of comparing results also defined in Blackjack Attack. SCORE = DI squared.

·         N0 – Another strategy-scoring technique developed by Brett Harris. It is defined as “the number of rounds that must be played, with a fixed betting spread, such that the accumulated expectation equals the accumulated standard deviation. As such, it is a measure of how many rounds must be played to overcome a negative fluctuation of one standard deviation with such a fixed spread.”

·         Factor – This is a relative performance factor that in this case was set to performance relative to a SCORE of 25.
