Hand 22
Zen Count/Basic is first to open this time, opening with its now normal$5,000.
ND bot follows suit with its own bet of$5,000.
Apple Siri succumbs to peer pressure (all the cool bots are doing it!) and also bets$5,000.
Out come the cards ...

BLACKJACK!$5,000$1,086,000Dealer 2
Zen Count/Basic has a 14 versus a dealer 2. It chooses to STAND, trusting that the dealer will go bust.
ND bot has an 18; it too opts to STAND, reasoning things are not likely to improve.
Apple Siri has a blackjack! Bad time to drop its bet to the minimum, but at least it doesn't have to worry about the outcome here.
The dealer reveals its hole card - a ten of spades. That gives it a 12, to which it must HIT. It does so and draws a six of clubs, putting it at 18, where it STANDs. Zen Count/Basic loses; ND bot pushes.

Hand 23
ND bot's turn to open this time; it pushes in its standard $5,000 bet.
Apple Siri copies ND bot's bet with $5,000 of its own.
Zen Count/Basic does the same. $5,000 - minimum bets all around.
Here come the cards ...

With a face card showing, a dealer blackjack is a possibility. The dealer scans the hole card.
Spoiler: Is it an ace?
One more hand to go before elimination, and we'll be posting that hand ... today!Mish-Mash Janitor

Hand 24 - elimination hand
The time has come to say goodbye to another one of the participants. Let's find out who.
First to bet: Apple Siri, which opens with$5,000.
Next up: Zen Count/Basic, which follows with the same bet -$5,000.
Last: ND bot, which bids ...Spoiler: How much?
Here come the cards!
Bot Hand Total Bet Stack Zen Count/Basic Soft 20$5,000$1,225,000ND bot Soft 19$5,000$990,000Apple Siri 19$5,000$1,088,500Dealer 8
Very promising for the players - no one with less than a 19 against a dealer 8!
Apple Siri STANDS with a hard 19.
Zen Count/Basic STANDS with a soft 20.
ND bot STANDS with a soft 19.
The dealer flips over its hole card - and it's a nine of diamonds, making this an even shorter hand - but far more generous. Everyone wins!
Bot Hand Total Bet Stack Zen Count/Basic Soft 20$5,000$1,225,000ND bot Soft 19$5,000$990,000Apple Siri 19$5,000$1,088,500Dealer 17
Results:
, going back up to $1,098,500.Apple Siri wins $5,000
, going back up to $1,235,000.Zen Count/Basic wins $5,000
, reclaiming its original stake of $1,000,000.ND bot wins $5,000
Unfortunately, while breaking even is a most impressive accomplishment in a casino - where the house always wins! - it isn't enough to prevail today. With$1,000,000, ND bot is the poorest of the remaining bots and is tentatively eliminated from the tournament.
Appeals are now open.Players will have 48 hours to appeal any plays (including bets) made by their bots. Any mistakes will be fixed; replays will occur if warranted. When the timer expires, any mistakes or errors not caught will be final.
(expired on 2020-12-06 10:45:00) remaining. Please send any appeals via PM to both StrangerCoug and me. Thanks!Mish-Mash Janitor

No appeals were made, so the final results stand.ND bot, programmed byNancy Drew 39, has been eliminated from the tournament.
We'll be resuming the action on Monday. I'm hoping to keep to the same schedule this week - and wrap everything up by Friday, with the last appeal period running over the weekend again.Mish-Mash Janitor

Hand 25
Two bots remain. Six hands before we crown a winner of the tournament. The first of those six hands starts now.
Zen Count/Basic is first to bet; it opts for its now-customary$5,000wager.
Apple Siri makes the exact same wager:$5,000.
Here come the cards ...
Bot Hand Total Bet Stack Zen Count/Basic 10$5,000$1,230,000Apple Siri 9$5,000$1,093,500Dealer 10
Decent totals for the players, but the dealer has a face card; a dealer blackjack would make short work of everything.

Hand 26
Apple Siri is first to bet this time, locking in a$5,000wager.
Zen Count/Basic responds with a$5,000wager of its own.
The dealer hands out the cards ...
Bot Hand Total Bet Stack Zen Count/Basic 14$5,000$1,225,000Apple Siri 14$5,000$1,098,000Dealer 7
... and not very good ones at that, with both bots at 14 versus a 7 showing.
Apple Siri asks for a HIT - getting a king of clubs for 24. BUST.
Zen Count/Basic also asks for a HIT. It gets a two of spades for 16. It HITS again - getting a six of diamonds for 22. BUST.
That kills the hand. No action required by the dealer, but it reveals its hole card per Kilobit policies: a king of spades. Nothing the players could have done to avert this disaster.

Hand 27
Zen Count/Basic opens up the bidding this time, throwing in a$5,000bet.
Apple Siri does the same:$5,000. Do they know something we don't?
Here come the cards:
Bot Hand Total Bet Stack Zen Count/Basic 17$5,000$1,220,000Apple Siri 14$5,000$1,093,000Dealer 3
Zen/Count Basic gets a 17, which is an obvious STAND - especially with the dealer having only a 3.
Apple Siri has only a 14, but also opts to STAND.
The dealer reveals a two of spades, for a total of 5. It HITS, claiming a four of spades, putting it at 9. One more HIT - drawing the king of diamonds for a 19. Everyone loses again. The bots' low bets pay off.

Hand 28
Apple Siri bets$5,000, apparently locked in.
Zen Count/Basic remains equally unwavering, betting$5,000.
Cards are dealt ...

... and it's low totals all around.
Apple Siri has a 16 against the dealer's 3. It chooses to STAND, hoping the dealer will go BUST.
Zen Count/Basic has only a 14, and makes the same choice: STAND.
The dealer reveals a six of diamonds, giving it 9. It HITS - drawing a jack of hearts and STANDING at 19. Everyone loses, again.

Hand 29
Zen Count/Basic is first up to bet - unsurprisingly, it continues to hold at$5,000.
Apple Siri, still trailing by well over $100,000, continues its recent trend and bets$5,000.
Out come the cards:
Bot Hand Total Bet Stack Zen Count/Basic 21
BLACKJACK!$5,000$1,210,000Apple Siri 11$5,000$1,083,500Dealer Soft 11
Now that looks a bit more exciting! Zen Count/Basic gets a blackjack, while Apple Siri has an 11 ... but the dealer has an ace showing, which could ruin everything. If the dealer also has a blackjack, it'll mean a push for Zen Count/Basic and an instant loss for Apple Siri.
With an ace showing, the dealer is obliged to offer insurance - a 2:1 side bet costing half the original bet that pays off if the dealer has a blackjack.
Zen Count/Basicrefusesinsurance.
Apple Sirirefusesinsurance.
The dealer scans its hole card ... does it have a ten or face card?
Spoiler: Is all hope lost?
Next hand will be coming up soon!Mish-Mash Janitor

Hand 30
The last hand of the tournament. Who will walk away with the Grand Prize? Let's find out.
Apple Siri is first to bet. Will this be the moment it breaks its streak of minimum bets, risking everything to take the lead from behind?
Nope.$5,000into the pot.
Zen Count/Basic also pushes in$5,000.
Here come the cards:
Bot Hand Total Bet Stack Zen Count/Basic 13$5,000$1,217,500Apple Siri 13$5,000$1,088,500Dealer 10
And we're back to the bad hands. Both bots with 13s against a dealer ten. Out comes the scanner; no insurance this time.
Spoiler: Does the tournament end with a dealer blackjack?
Spoiler: Final Results (tentative):
Appeals are now open.Players have 48 hours to submit any errors. Material errors will be fixed; hands replayed if warranted. Please PM any errors to both StrangerCoug and me. Thanks!

I figured I was probably the only one who implemented a counting strategy.
I think Apple Siri was also using basic strategy, just written out instead of as a table as ND bot and mine did? So all three seem pretty much equally good at the actual game.
The second shuffle the deck just immediately went trash and stayed that way, so counting was kinda irrelevant. In the end I think I got lucky that in the one moment the first shuffle that the deck was good my bot bet big and won big.- StrangerCoug

I'll have more time to post my thoughts after work, but if and when I run this again, I will probably cut the first round and have a four-player game of 20 hands. The bot submitting rules will probably change a little, but the plans are that the counting strategy that Zen Count/Basic used to win the tournament will remain legal.STRANGERCOUG: Stranger Than You!

Thanks for modding y'all.
Despite trying to code something simple; I still managed to get it wrong. I'm actually not quite sure what I was thinking when I did the playing strategy. Oh well.- inspiratieloos
