Modern Blackjack contains a chart of the overall percentages of hands won, lost, and tied and how these percentages are affected by card counting. But, an interesting question came up that I have not seen before. How are these percentages affected by the number of indexes? So, I ran three simulations with full indexes, just the Illustrious 18 indexes, and no indexes. As the effect is slight with shoes, double-deck was simulated. The Hi-Opt II strategy was selected as it has a high playing efficiency and a huge number of indexes. Four players, S17, DAS, 65% penetration, and one billion rounds were used.
Below are the charts. The first displays the percentage of hands won, by true count, for the three sets of indexes. This is followed by hands lost and hands tied. The results are interesting. I will leave it to the reader to analyze the charts.
