    Can I get a advantage with this low spread?

    Could someone tell me what my advantage is on this game? 2deck 65% pen S17, DAS, NRSA .19 off the top. Spread 1-3 play all heads up or one other player. Using a average level one count similar to KO with around 20 deviations. I'm guessing im around + 1/2% can anyone confirm?

    Don,

    Does your biggest gain in EV come from a low spread? What i mean is, will a 1-6 spread give you twice the edge as 1-3? Isnt there a threshold were theres no more EV to be gained regardless of how big your spread gets?

    You'll always make more with a larger spread. If you back-count, there are diminishing returns once you get past about 1-4, but with play-all, you'll always make much more with a larger spread.

    Do you not have any software or BJA3 chapter 10 charts to see this?

    Spread 1 to 3 vs 1 to 6. I used BJRM with your rules and 60% pen (65% wasn't an option). Using 1 to 3 spread assuming $25 at zero and under, $50 at TC 1, and $75 at TC2 and above, I get win of 0.59%. Using spread of 1 to 6 assuming $25 at zero and under, $50 at TC 1, $100 at TC2 and $150 at TC3 and above, I get win of 1.04%.
