Here is a way of improving your Hi-Lo system. The idea is to use a side count of 7's but without learning any new index number. So, you will still use Hi-Lo for playing purposes but your BC will improve from 0.969 to 0.984.
This improvement means an almost 6% in SCORE for 6D.
Now the method:
1) For playing and insurance decisions use Hi-Lo.
2) Keep a separate RC to accounting for the sevens. Start the IRC at -4 * #decks (for 2D you will start your side count at -8).
3) Each time you see a seven add +1 to your Side RC. Another way would be to start your IRC at +8 and each time you see a seven substract +1.
4) For betting you should multiply the Hi-Lo RC by 2 and add/substract the Side RC.
5) With this RC' do the TC conversion as always.
Basically, you should keep two running counts:
HL_RC = Hi-Lo Running Count.
SC_RC = Side-Count Running Count. This one started at IRC.
DR = Decks Remaining
For betting calculate RC'=HL_RC*2+SC_RC ==> TC=RC'/#DR
The beauty of this system is that it is easier than keeping a side count of ACEs since you don't have to change any index while still having a little better SCORE.
Here is the analysis for 6D,S17,DOA,DAS,SPA1,SPL3,NS,5/6,Catch-22:
