Technically, I agree with what T3 said, and I like the way he explained it with the 'bin' terminology. I may just use that if/when training players in the future, T3.
But, it is not the way I would actually do it myself. TC +2.8 is close enough that I probably would bet my TC +3 wager. Let me tell you why. I use different spreads for different games and tolerance levels, but one of my more common spreads would have me wagering $150 @ TC +2, $300 @ TC +3 and max bet of $400 @ TC +4 and above.
What is at issue is that if I remain at $150 at that TC 2.8, it is very possible the count could jump right through the "TC +3 bin", up to my max bet on the next round, especially late in the shoe or if it is a DD game where the counts jumps around. This would have me jumping from $150 to $400, which I prefer not to do. So @ TC 2.8, I would probably go ahead and wager my TC +3 wager of $300, or at very least $250 just to smooth out the ramp, and avoid the possibility of a big jump on the next round. It's a bit of looking past this current wager and trying to prepare for what may come next.
Technically it is over betting, but I am under betting my bankroll anyway, setting my betting level by tolerance level rather than my bankroll, so it really isn't an issue for me. Those that have set a betting schedule that is more optimal and closer to Kelly, I would recommend that you stick to your schedule. Hopefully, you have set your betting schedule fairly optimally, so if you start deviating, you are getting away from where you want to be.
