    I have no interest in discussing this subject -- like nearly everyone else.

    I thought "I have no interest in discussing this subject" was pretty clear.

    This is so so so wrong that it is not worth commenting upon.

    This thread is a waste of ...

    Termination is in order.

    moses,

    You okay? Your posts have recently seemed somewhat "off". Just concerned.

    Now that Tarzan, [who is standing next to me], has stopped
    laughing at your statement below re: how little I know ...

    while this makes no sense to me or to Tarzan:

    ... "The 2nd best scenario is a higher percentage of 89s, 67s, 2- 5s, than 10s remaining."

    We both are thinking that your phrasing is confusing and needs to be REWRITTEN. Please do so.

    Every count has slop. You pick your count and accept the slop. The degree of slop affects betting, SCORE and variance but you know what the optimal bet is, what the SCORE is and what the variance is. There is nothing to be worried about because slop is a given. You equate situations that aren't similar in the way you like and take the average to determine your bin's of equated situation's stats. Every system does this. Usually the stronger systems do a better job of equating similar situations into bins but there are more important things to worry about. Slop is part of the process. It can only be reduced so much before the effort becomes more costly than the improvement in the stats. BJ is not the game to obsess about these things. BJ is too linear.

    That's why few people play SD compared to games were spreading is more tolerated.

    I really would appreciate Norm commenting upon this statement.
