Why are my sim results worse than the archived sims in CVCX?

[Cardguy]

When I pull up the archived sim of HiLo Full Indices I get a different bet ramp and much better SCORE than when I run the sim myself. I assume I have chosen an incorrect setting but I can't figure it out.

Archived Sim
HiLo Full Indices, 8D, 4 players, S17, DAS, Sr, RSA, 6.5/8 pen, 15:1 spread, $10 minimum bet, no backcounting (box left unchecked), play single spot
Recommended bet ramp: 10/25/50/125/150 (at TC=4), SCORE 38.41, Win rate $31.25/hr, 8.5% ROR, N0 26,034

My Sim (400 million rounds)
HiLo Full Indices, 8D, 4 players, S17, DAS, Sr RSA, 6.5/8 pen, 15:1 spread, $10 minimum bet, Start play at shuffle, Wong out at -2 (lists backcounting at 40.2%)
Bet ramp 10/10/25/50/100/125/150 (at TC=5), SCORE 23.21, Win rate $15.34/hr, 4.8% ROR, N0 43,083

I assume the difference comes from my Wonging settings. Is the archived sim play all? If so, it should give worse, not better results, correct?

I also ran the same custom sim as above but changed it to Wong in at +1 and Wong out at -1. No other changes. This is what I got:
Bet ramp 10/15/25/50/75/100/100/150 (at TC=7), SCORE 49.2, Win rate $19.04, ROR 0.6%, N0 20,323

A significantly slower bet ramp but much better SCORE. Why can't I mimic the archived sim results? Any idea what settings were used to create the archived sim?

Thanks!

Please take a screen shot and paste it here for the two sims.

Sorry, how do I do that?

This is my attempt to post the screenshots. If it works, the first one is the Archived sim and the second one is my own personally created sim

Any thoughts?

Any thoughts?

The archive sim is ran for 2 billion rounds. You only ran your simulation for 400 millions rounds. Did you try to ran your simulation for 2 billions rounds and compare it with the archive simulation? The archive simulation is for Hi-lo full indices play all.

Backcounting 40.2%? In this case you are playing in more negative situation. As a general rule of thumb when backcounting an eight deck game the play have an advantage nearly 20% of the time in positive counts. When backcounting is 40.2% percentage you are playing at too much disadvantage situations.

%W/L values are as you expected.

Turn off manually adjust min bet and dramatically reduce the spread when wonging.
