Here's an intuitive way to do these calculations that works most of the time, when comparing to the Hi-Lo indices, which are +3 for insurance and +1 for doubling 9 vs. 2.
Your IRC with Red Seven...
he states taking ins. at pivot +2. when using the advanced red seven count he shows ins. at +4 (after 3 decks are gone out of a 6 deck shoe). i am assuming he means ins. at pivot +2 regardless of...
Wait till it's about to end, see who the leader is, see how many points it would take the catch them, and compare to the cost of getting those points. Usually these end up not working because other...
My bad Cac. I had RSA on, instead of DAS
So here's what CVCX shows for 1 spot and two spots respectively
Hi Lo Full 17.03 and 24.77
Halves Full 19.70 and 28.71
This is almost identical to...
Hi Sec,
I've been reviewing your numbers with CVCX under the same conditions, and I think they are a bit low.
Let me share what I get.
2D,H17,DOA,DAS,NS,50% pen,solo play, spread 1-6:
1)...
Well, it's simpler than Halves, which is level 3 and a bit more difficult than Hi-Lo.
This will always happen when you move from a level 1 to a level 2. On the other hand, it's normal that if the...
How much simpler than Halves :) ??
I found hi low stupid simple. But sadly halves is simply not viable to me under all conditions (fast dealing or long session).
I might consider CAC2 if and...
I revised my CA so that it computes EVs and probabilities based upon a counting system. Below is data for 6 decks mid-shoe for HiLo running counts of +25, +30, +35, +40. I crammed in as much as I...
Thanks everyone! And yes, Doghand, that's exactly the info I was looking for. And yes, Freightman, good analogy about the insurance side bet and the payout consideration. This has been helpful.
