Norm and others, I have set up my CVBJ to use the indices generated for the specific game I am playing. I have set up my bet schedules as well. Errors are reported when made. Very helpful for practice. I love it.

However, I am having trouble setting up the TC Calc section of the settings menu to match the casino conditions I play under. I play MGM style DD games (60% pen) so I only use 3 TC points of calculation (2 decks, 1-1/2 decks, and 1 deck remaining) when playing in a casino. I was near the cut card and my last bet was given an error because the RC was 2 and I was dividing by 1 deck for a TC of 2. I bet the correct amount for a TC of 2 and the TRAY information claimed a TC of 4. I realize that the CVBJ was calculating this by using an RC of 2 with 1/2 deck remaining, making it a TC of 4. That doesn't bother me, except that there were probably 40+ cards remaining and that isn't a 1/2 deck remaining as I normally calculate in the real world.

I have the following setting used now: 1/2 deck resolution and ROUNDING. That seemed like the same way I look at my 2, 1-1/2, 1 deck TC divisor, but obviously I am confused. Do I need to use the TRUNCATE function of calculation to achieve the divisors I am looking for? I also have the desk estimate accuracy set to 6 cards, so it shouldn't be overly nit-picky in these broad groups of 2, 1-1/2, and 1 deck. [As I am proof reading this post, I guess it is fair to say that I start off conservative and divide my RC by 2 until I am at 1/2 deck gone, divide by 1-1/2 from here until I start dividing by 1 when I am very close to 1 deck remaining (certainly LESS THAN 60 cards to be dealt) so the 1-1/2 divisor gets "squeezed" just a little bit.]

I should say by nature, I am a conservative player. I like to see a 1/2 deck gone before I start to divide by 1-1/2 and I like to be pretty close to 1 deck before I start converting my RC into a TC. I am far too conservative to double up a running count (by dividing by a 1/2 deck remaining) with more than 30 cards left to deal. Since I can't make a bet under the 60% penetration rule stated above with 30 cards or less, the 1/2 deck divisor shouldn't happen to me. Please help. Thanks.
