TOPCAT: Ace side count on feet(Ken Uston) - dumb question
Hi, i have a really important but dumb question.
From ken uston's book i forgot the foot position for 1 ace. here is what i remember, i just started practicing again. i ordered another book but not arrived yet.
I may have mixed up position of 1 &3 aces. can someone help me out please.....
Aces - foot position
0 - foot flat on ground
1 - ???
2 - right side of foot flat on ground
3 - foot flat and toes pointing up (???)
4 - left side of foot flat on ground
5 - toes up and pointing to the left

You can do this any way you please, but I do it as follows:
Starting with left foot: 0, flat. 1, heel raised (on toes). 2, left side of foot. 3, toes raised (on heel). 4, right side of foot. Repeat on right foot for 5-8.

I tried for quite some time to master counting aces on my feet and just never felt comfortable. Fingers proved to be even more problematic since I tend to talk with my hands, and I kept waving them around with awkward finger positions.
Finally, I gave up and began using numbers and letters in my count -- "A" = 1 ace, "B" = 2 aces, etc. I won't say it was easy to learn, but it leaves no physical clues, and it (eventually) becomes second nature.
If only BJA had been published 20 years ago...

Clever. I use the side count only in DD, and only for the insurance wager.
