    One rule of thumb is that you should have at least 100 max bets.

In the tool bar above click on BJ resources and then click on CVCX online to get an interactive tool for getting betting info for playall approach to many counts and number of indices for various levels of penetration and rules including number of decks. You can purchase the same software that is much more versatile. That is how most people do it.

    My quick rule of thumb ~ take the House Edge into consideration
    and use the advantage gained per your Card Counting system.
    The "heat level" must be a considered factor. If the pen' is good
    set your personal MAX bet at the T.C. wherein you have a 2%
    advantage.
    Withpoor pen. you may set the MAX bet at 1.67%
    Fromyour MAX bet work backwards toward your minimum bet.

    I figure out the highest bet I think will be tolerated without undo scrutiny and work down from there since my BR is large enough that any percentage based on what ZMF said would be over table max.
