    Interesting. And how would it look with basic strategy?
    Finally, how would you capitalize on that information?

    With Basic strategy the winner is an absence of 7s (+0.5257)
    Second place is an overload of 9s (+0.2253)
    Third place is an overload of 89s (+0.187)

    Those are the only positive EVs at TC0
    When there is an overload of 7s and 9s, EV goes down to -0.953

    How to capitalize on those situations?
    You and I discussed that privately a while ago and you came up with a sim
    showing that HiLo can be upgraded to Halves level and
    probably higher if we had gone further in refining the system.

    By the way, the Gmail address I had at the time is not operational anymore.

    You're missing the 7s (+0.525%). My e-mail didn't change.

    Yes you are right.
    I was just going to edit my post. You"r too fast Cac!
    OK, now my post has been corrected. Absence of 7s wins when using Basic Strategy
