I building a player evaluation excel file for the casino game blackjack. The problem comes when a Ace is dealt.
In the game of blackjack the Ace has the value of 1 or 11.
For example when a 10 value card is dealt with an Ace the value of the Ace is 11 for a total of 21 (winner). If a 8 is dealt with an Ace the total would be soft 19 (8+11). On the other hand if a hand is dealt like..4, 6, 2, Ace the total would be 23 or 13. A 23 would be a automatic loser for the game so the player or dealer would treat the hand as a 13 and play on.
Right now I have the program using a 1 to represent an Ace for other parts of evaluation.
What I'm trying to do is have the program recognize that a 1=Ace can be a 1 value or 11 value as long when seen as an 11 the combined total is not over 21 but when the combined total is over 21 the value is 1.
Thank You for any thoughts on my problem.
