    CVDATA Index

    I'm trying to make indexes for a balanced count for the espanol game. For some reason, it keeps thinking double 9v5 is like -2, even though it's not a double at neutral, per BS. Checked rules, deck composition, etc.

    Always keep in mind that BS and indices are not the same thing. BS takes into account the player and dealer cards. So, 9vs5 is a RC of -3. I think Katarina has -2 for that hand.

    So why is it a -2 TC in an 8 deck shoe?

    Katarina's IRC is -4, so it's actually +2.

    My guess for your count, if correct, would have the index at +1.

    What are the tags? How are you true-counting?

    Going to be busy for a bit; but will look later.

    That was my guess too.

    I think it may have been a problem with the playing strategy. Espanol has all those crazy charts, and I don't think I entered in correctly.

    If you generate the hard indices against dealer 5 in the same run, that won't matter.

    Go to Tools-Export, create an export file somewhere and e-mail it.
