Decoding the Deck: Leveraging Computer Simulations to Optimize Blackjack Profitability 🃏

Analysis of Blackjack Simulation to determine the optimal play strategies. Contain a written report, code, and data.

📊 Result:

After thousands of rounds and testing various strategies, I found that the best way to beat the game is quit when ahead or never start in the first place. The house always win in the end. The system is design as such.

📑 Abstract
