If she got an Ace, it might be a difficult decision on whether to take another card or not. An 11-count Ace would give her 21, but another card, counting the Ace as a 1, and less than a ten-count card, would still be under 21, but would give her a five-card hand, which the way we played 21, would be a double pay-out, as long as she beat the Dealer’s hand…
Gambling involves far more than simple mathematical properties. Gamblers use a great deal of social psychology to read their fellow players. It can give winners and losers quite an education.
