Counting in 2017

[moses]

Perhaps it's time to discard many of the old counting notions from the 70's and 80's. The 3- 4 defense dominated in the 70's and was countered with the West Coast Offense in the 80's. Point is, change is inevitable, even vital in order to remain competitive.

Norm states in his book that BC is highly important for shoe games. It was said that Arnold Snyder stated that his Zen count was no longer viable with the rule changes to the game we have today.

Playall is a thing of the past. However, there are certain counts where it's possible to get more out of the indices we can still play. BC is definitely the theme in single deck in the age of shortened pen and preferential shuffling. Rules and Heat have been tightened in the DD game in Vegas according to the many diatribes on the forum.

Wongers try to stay under radar and work with a 51% win percentage in a best case scenario of high BC. Don states the National Average for sportbets is 56%. I speak to investors every week that fly in to bet certain games at the same investment of a wonger.

Norm developed REKO perhaps in anticipation of changing times. Felt/RPC provides an additional boost to those that don't mind TC and deck estimating. Wong Halves gives a little more in BC for those able to do level 3. Uston SS provides a small boost in BC for those less inclined to calculate true counting. Switching the values of the 2 and 7 will improve PE without diminishing BC. You'd have to run a SIM to determine the SCORE.

Even with reduced indices and rules Hi Opt and Omega will still post a higher SCORE but far less of a spread between to the top non side counts. Dropping the Ace makes more sense in minimum bets than adding it when pressure is on for large bets.

Many questions, boasts, and claims will come galore.

The answers are in YOU, CV Data and SCORE.
