    Hmm so I could easily out pace the harder count. Ugh the perfectionist in me always tries to optimize things but simplicity is crucial with respect to time. I could probably do the easier count all...

    Here I disagree. What you're saying depends on the counting system you use. In Hi-Lo or Halves, an ASC will effectively improve PE and not BC, as you rightly say, but with CAC2 this is not the case,...

    BC/BE by itself means nothing. It must go hand in hand with PE. What I mean by this is that you can have a system with a BC of 0.99 that turns out to be inferior, in terms of SCORE, to another with,...

    I don't really know the answer to those questions but I would speculate that these inter division rivalries are more intense and the dog is more motivated to upset the fave also, as I indicated...

    How much of a difference does .99 BC vs .96 BC make? And lets say the .99 BC count is a bit more complex than the .96 BC, and by a bit I mean side counting 2 cards instead of 1.

    81 games is a really small sample but still interesting. Sports betting is fluid though. An edge today might not exist tomorrow if books potentially adjust. One also wonders why the division...

    Viable. But it's tricky and there's an art to it. 6-8 deck shoe will be +1 or great about 25-30% of hands. Obviously it is mathematically preferable to play $0 on negative hands instead of min...

    Nuances tab, Notes: near the top. That should stick to the configuration definition going forward. Notes in the Archives page is just for on sim.

    back counting is fine, just don't stand around there forever. watch a round or two and then sit down or bounce. while you sit down, you can fumble your money and let them deal another hand etc.
