That the dealer breaks less frequently in higher counts has been known for a very long time. As I've said several times before, I continually enjoy it when present-day experts "discover" things for themselves and "report" their findings.

For similar data, see Chambliss and Roginsky, "Playing Blackjack in Atlantic City, pp. 123-34. This highly overlooked and underrated work, published in 1981, is a gold mine of statistical information and charts. Although perhaps rendered somewhat obsolete by today's simulators, it was well ahead of its time, and deserves better standing in the annals of bj literature.
