Deck estimation question in CVBJ

[Banjoclan]

Hi,

If I understand correctly, according to the free book, I round to the nearest full deck, correct?

Is there a way to do a deck estimation drill where it doesn't show exactly the full deck but I have to estimate to the nearest deck?

Thanks

Hmm. I don't think so. Pretty sure I only show fractional decks when you are estimating to fractional decks in the drills.

Another quick question. Does the program count only full decks when you do your estimate? In other words, when I'm playing the in the game mode, it often looks like there is a little more than 2 decks remaining so I use 2 as my divisor but the computer says that there are 3 decks remaining. Am I estimating wrong or is this how the program works?

You'll have to be more specific.

Norm,

Here's what I mean. I estimate the decks remaining to be a little more than 1 so I use 1 deck remaining. I have a running count of -10 so it should be -10/1 for a TC of -10. However the computer uses 2 decks remaining so it's gets a TC of -5.Screenshot (2).jpg

Hard to read, but it looks like 1.58 decks left, rounding to 2.

So my deck estimation is just off then. OK, thanks.

Banjoclan I think it also depends on how you have your true count and deck estimation set up when you initially defined the game. Click on the bottom left "Menu" and then "Settings" and click the "True Count" tab.

You have to estimate the same way you set the game up.

I have the "floor" option under "True Count Division" and "Round" under "Deck Estimation". Using the FELT system as described in the book, should I be using "Truncate" under Deck Estimation?

No.

Good eye.
