How the calculation works

The player follows a documented simplified basic decision table for hard and soft totals and may double on the first two cards. The dealer follows the selected H17 or S17 rule. Splits, surrender, insurance and card counting are intentionally excluded and disclosed.

Compare bankroll behavior under consistent rules and understand how doubles, naturals and losing streaks affect stake progressions.

Educational simulation, not a winning system

Gambling involves financial risk. Betting progressions change bet size and volatility, but they do not remove the house edge or make independent outcomes predictable. Results are simulated examples, not advice or a promise of profit. Never chase losses; if you gamble, set a fixed entertainment budget and stop when it is reached.

Private, fast and mobile-ready

The workspace runs with browser JavaScript and does not submit entered values to a Rantey calculation endpoint. Controls use readable labels, large touch targets and responsive result panels for narrow screens.
