Since you never, EVER, can simply get a straight answer here, to what was nonetheless a perfectly straightforward question with all the necessary information...

Ya Think? :-)

T3 even tried to get a "which count is best" discussion started.

LoL. All I did was ask him to state his count. He already had so if that is enough to start a debate the OP is the one that would have started it. The debate gets started by the few on this forum that must try to sway others that the count that they decided is best for them is best for everyone. That can't apply to me as nobody else uses my count and I plan to keep it that way.

You have got to be kidding. If you haven't noticed I haven't participated in them for around a year or so and when I did I always said which count is best depends on the individual. There is no debate about which count is best on a computer simulation. But we don't make money on a computer simulation do we. We must deal with many issues when playing in a casino that just don't sim well.

A mistake prone person will say people make too many mistakes to realize the gain. A perfectionist that would rarely if ever make a mistake says you give up too much for the sake of simplicity. A savvy casino AP that goes unnoticed would say simplicity either makes you too easy to spot or cover to make you look stupid or a tolerable spread just costs too much for many counts.

I think the quoted comment illustrates why so few make it as an AP. They get an idea in their head and just can't see when things change. This is a very bad trait for an AP. An AP must quickly identify changes in order to exploit them before they get burned out. The inability to do so leaves the AP only exploiting opportunities that the casino is comfortable with them exploiting. That means they missed the best opportunities because the casino is not comfortable with them once they figure them out and the opportunity quickly wanes.

You may notice I never once mentioned any count. There is no need as we all know these to be true without mentioning any count. It is a tradeoff as to where individual counts fall in the prior description. Each person has different strengths and weaknesses and plays in casinos with different tolerances and have different philosophies about what is important to them. Hence the what count is best depends on the individual.

Since you never, EVER, can simply get a straight answer here, to what was nonetheless a perfectly straightforward question with all the necessary information, I'll give it to you, with no recommendations, preaching, or stupid comments:

4.5/6, S17, DAS, LS, RSA, 2x1 to 2x10 spread. $10,000 trip bankroll. Sweet 16 + Fab 4. Play 30 hours. ROR 19%. Bet sizes should be 2 x $25 to 2 x $250. End of story.
See how easy that is, everyone?

Thank you for the concise advice, Don.

And thank you to everyone else, Ryemo, Three, et al. Much appreciated. The math is great, but I also like Ryemo's way of thinking about the issue. Nice food for thought.

This is all I read of the above novella. Earlier, you said, "Nobody can give you a good answer without knowing what count you use and how many indices." It makes little difference, but I perceived it as an implied "well if you were using my super duper system..."

In any case, I have noticed a big improvement in you responsiveness and brevity (except this time ), and that's why I removed you from my Ignore list a few months ago. Keep up the good work!
