jimmtech: Minus Counts Play All

[jimmtech]

Assuming 6 or 8 deck, H17 DOA and flat minumimum bets, how much advantage does playing hi-lo give over BS in minus counts?

[Norm Wattenberger]

Below is a chart of advantage by True Count for three players: Basic Strategy, HiLo Illustrious 18 and HiLo full indexes.

from -4 true to +4 true I can just play basic strategy without any change of results.

[Norm Wattenberger]

The difference starts before +4 and it's larger than it looks since the range of the chart is 25%. But, there certainly isn't much gain at a TC of +1 or +2 from indexes alone in a 6 deck, H17, nDAS, NSr game, without raising your bet.
