This entry box allows you to view/change the name assigned to this player.
This numeric entry box allows you to declare a maximum # of hands for this player to play.
This
feature allows you to specify the initial 2-cards the player will receive.
This allows you
to test-run various strategy scenarious.
Note:
Currently, Boris does not actually "debit" those two cards
from those available in the deck/shoe.
This may be
easily resolveable in Version 4.44a/b.
This
is a dropdown list allowing you to select/alter the betting strategy
used at this seat.
In Version 4.44
PRO+ Users will find Betting Strategy #2 & #3 enabled; allowing
you to run comparison "what-if" simulations, comparing
multiple-betting strategies for a single play of the cards.
This
is a dropdown list allowing you to declare the card-play strategy in
use at this seat;
such as Basic
Strategy, or one of the available card-count strategies.
Table
Selection/Departure is a new idea under evaluation for future
inclusion in Boris.
Stay tuned for
the details on this one.
Bankroll
is the TOTAL amount of money a player will begin with.
Just because a
player is allocated a given bankroll is no guarantee it will actually
be used.
When a buyin is
made, it is debited from the Bankroll.
Players
tend to buy chips in incremental-amounts, known as a "buyin".
When a player
exhausts money on the table, Boris will instruct that player to buyin
for more chips.
System
players tend to bet in consistent increments, known as a unit-size,
making $-Stats evaluation easier.
For example,
with a $25 unit-size, a 2-unit bet would be $50, while a 5-unit bet
would be $125, etc.
This is the $-Amount the player uses to end a playing session on a win.
This is the $-Amount the player uses to end a playing session on a loss.
This is the number of units which must be won before increasing the unit-size.
When
checked, this box enables the three option buttons allowing you to
override the betting strategy (if allowed).
A
"Timid" bettor makes minimum bets, regardless of what the
strategy dictates.
An
"Average" bettor bets according to the betting strategy.
An
"Agressive" bettor bets considerably more than is normally
called for.
This
data entry box allows you to specify the maximum # of units a player
may bet.
In-effect, this
creates a wager-amount "ceiling".
This
dropdown list allows you to specify a strategy for evaluating the game.
This strategy
may be different from the Playing Strategy.
This strategy
will be used when the [ADVICE] Button is pressed.
It will also
affect the data displayed on the Strategy Data-Panel (which pops up
over the chip tray).
Clicking
the Up/Down arrows of this toggle-box allow you to simulate
card-counting errors and their affects.
If you
set this value down to, say, 85%, you are in-effect creating a 15%
card-counting error-rate.
The default
value is 100%.
Because
some card-counts don't always begin at Zero (0),
this toggle-box
allows you to specify a value other than 0.
This is useful
for some of the "newer" unbalanced card-counts.
This dropdown list allows you to change the interpretation of the Strategy Table Entries (STEs), for use in creating interesting strategy variations. Card-counting strategies tend to use the Running-count or True-count for table indexing.
This feature will be enabled in a future release of Boris' PRO+ Edition
This feature (currently under BetaTest Evaluation) will be made available to PRO+ Users in a future 4.44 Release.

the Strategy Data-Panel (which pops up over the chip tray).
With
this box checked, the player is "locked" to the table (not
allowed to leave), regardless of the setting of the "Casino
Mode" checkbox on the Playing Options Screen.
Locking players
is useful for running million-round Blackjack simulations.
This
allows you to declare a player to play multiple seat-positions
before the play begins.
You can also
spread to multiple hands during live-play.
This is a new feature under evaluation for Boris PRO+ Users.
