But with the count of sevens, the true count of Hi-Lo is also zero.
I think you could do more tests with different blocks and see which one is the most effective. For example: 78s, 89s, 79s, 8s, and 9s.The EV goes up as the ratio of 789s gets deeper under the norm for the Best Strategy player.
This reinfoces the concept of Quality True Count being helpful to the "informed" player. In the previous post, option B is a strong quality true count of 0 (almost +2% EV) for the "perfect strategy player" but is a weak quality true count of 0 (-1.77%) fpr the basic strategy player.
The problem is that for me, the information provided by that block (789s) is not something I can capitalize on. However, the information provided by the 7s, yes.I don't know what the proper statement would be but it seems that we can say that an overrepresentation of 789s leads to a weaker EV when one cannot detect the situation with his/her main count.
How would you describe that cumulative effect of neutral cards when it doesn't make a difference to the main count?
Sincerely,
Cac
