single deck, 3/2, double T&11 and 70% pen. start out $100, stay at $100 if i win and count is -1 through +1. otherwise go down to $50 at -2 and lower, and if you lose again, go down to $25. on all of the high counts i'm using $50 units up to $300 and not covering at all besides counts that would call for a small change in bet size, where i'd leave it. can cv do stuff this specific?
i'm also going to leave if i have a streak of big bets, then it goes negative at the beginning of a deck.
big dog in charge
I've been wanting to ask this. What are the practical advantages for CVData? I read this: https://qfit.com/counting-cards-simulation.htm. I'm wondering if for a hilo player at light green stakes who is very part time, is CVData more information than I need? When I think of a hierarchy of my needs as a player, I consider game selection, betting strategy, more indexes, but I'm mostly working on having the discipline to get my max out and, on the other side, wong out. The answer I guess is of course that CVData can do what I need now and will also be a good resource as I advance in ability. But does anyone have any thoughts on this?
So what I get out of this is 1D 3/2 H17 DT-11 DAS(only 10 and 11 though), good PEN... House Edge for H17 is .46%.
First, you should be upping your bet at +1 because at that point you're also less than a deck, so the TC is more than +1 and you're probably around a half percent favorite by that time. From what you discussed, being so situational, I'm going to use the following spread:
TC <= -2 = $35
TC = -1 = $75
TC = 0 = $100
TC = +1 = $150
TC = +2 = $200
TC = +3 = $250
TC >= +4 = $300
The net result from the .46% HE and the previously mentioned spread is approximately $39.91 per 100 hands (so per hour on an average table).
Do note that I used an "average" of your 50 and 25 bets for TC -2, or TC +1 where I think you should up, etc. With your TC +1 = 100, then moving by 50 increments, that's $33.72 per 100 hands.
If you'd like to have the sheets to do this yourself I have a massive A to Z thread (and articles) on WoV and in then I linked to Google Docs where I shared my excel sheets. Everything about them is explained there as well. You'd simply have to modify the house edge and your betting spread to see the different results:

2 Deck (25): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...it?usp=sharing

Some folks buy treadmills or exercise equipment and after a few weeks, it lies unused. I am that sort of person and it's one reason I have not bought it yet. I guess it depends upon how serious you get, how many different venues and types of games you play and your personality.
SCG can be a tad harsh at times (and that's being VERY politeOriginally Posted by smallcapgrowth
) I myself wouldn't have posted the "lazy human being" or "gambling addict" thoughts. I would have kept those judgements to myself, but DAMN ZeeBabar, you DO deserve it!
I want to add just one word to the most important part of SCG's post. You can not be a SERIOUS card counter without this software! You just can't.
Zee, you talk about how you are in the process of deciding if you can make a living or supplement your living from BJ play after retiring in the near future. Well, it doesn't get more serious that that. If you are REALLY at that point, then stop yanking everyone's chain and take this seriously and buy the software.
You posted BJ winnings last year greater than I had, so why on earth have you not reinvested a tiny fraction of those winnings into the software that will pay for itself a hundred times over and allow you to not only answer all your own questions, but you will progress and see things clearly that you didn't before. It's impossible to take you seriously when you won't do the damn smallest thing to help yourself.
Romes, why would you raise your bets when you are at a disadvantage?
Play within your bankroll, pick your games with care and learn everything you can about the game. The winning will come. It has to. It's in the cards. -- Bryce Carlson
