MoneyMaker said:Ok I was playing the game here and it said "don't risk busting when the dealer shows 6 or below. Stand and hope he bursts"
I don't understand this. I had an 8 and 5 which is only 13, he had 4. I clicked hit and that came up. Could someone please explain. : )
thanks
MoneyMaker said:if it won't let me beat the house how do people make money.. sorry if I sound rude but i still don't understand how I could sit on only 13.. if he had a 4 then if he gets a 10 or anything I loose. If he gets a 9 and hits again I loose. the only way I could win is if he like gets a a really really bad combo...

We both know that even for BS players good nights can come quite often and with a bit of luck it's not hard to make money without counting in any given evening.
With that said, I think what she wants is a decent explanation regarding why it is advisable to stand on 13 against a 4 up.
The simple explanation is: Because you have no idea what the dealer has under that 4 card up. The bottom line is that millions and millions of hands have been played in which it's been proven that you will win more/lose less by standing on 13 against a 4. The truth is that having a 13 against ANYTHING is not very good. It's not a winning hand. If you stand, all too often the dealer will draw to a made hand. If you hit, all too often you will bust out. But if you have 13 and the dealer has a 4 up, you want to stand and hope to God that he busts, which he will do 40% of the time. In the end, even if your 13 is against a 6 up (the worst up card for the dealer), you will thank your lucky stars if you win.
For a more detailed and mathematical explanation, someone else will have to chime in.
