    Zenfighter: Re: A practical example

    Let?s consider this artificial subset of 104 cards already dealt out (4 dks remaining):

     
    Rank Quantity

    A 6
    2 9
    3 9
    4 9
    5 9
    6 9
    7 9
    8 9
    9 8
    T 27



    Hilo RC? RC = 45 ? 33 = 12

    Hilo TC? 12/4 = 3

    Traditional insurance? Yes

    Remaining cards: 69 tens and 135 others.

    Density of remaining tens? 69/204 = .3382

    Perfect insurance? Yes because .3382 =>.3333

    Adjusting here for an excess of 2 aces remaining:

    12 ? (2*2) = 8 and

    8/4 = 2, thus

    Do not take insurance.

    At least here it doesn?t seems to work, properly.

    An example only, I know.

    What do you get here with a starting IRC = -24?

    Sincerely

    Ok, here it goes using my calculations:

    I) Hi-Lo --> Index = +3

    RC = +12
    TC = +12/4 = +3 ==> Take Insurance

    Note that if you use +3.01 you wouldn't take it

    II) PC (0 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 -1) --> Index = -1

    RC = -6
    TC = -6/4 = -1.5 = -2 (flooring) ==> Don't take Insurance

    III) PC + SC (1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 -1) --> Index = -5

    RC = -24
    TC = -24/4 = -6 ==> Don't take Insurance

    Remember that both PC and SC have an IRC of -24. Also SC is (1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0).

    Interesting example!

    Hope this helps.

    Sincerely,
    Cac
