What were the max bets allowed on each side bet?
I do not know the math probilities, but with a balanced count such as Hi Low the TC would not help solving the math, concerning the two card 20 bet you were making without first knowing the excess or lack of aces that comprise the TC. The TC would not help the Hi Low player with the other side bets that have neutral cards 7,8 9.
If you are allowed to make a wager on the side bet up to say a $100 this could help cut plenty of volatility down especially for short banks and risk takers with high ROR. Although players might as well be wearing shirts that say card counters.
Yes, I was selectively making a side bet on the 8-1 payout on a 2-card total of 20 and on the 19-1 payout on a 2-card total of 21 with a positive TC. Max bets allowed per side bet was $10. For example, I could bet $10 each on both of those side bets. In fact, I bet a max of $10 on each of those side bets all at once if I had wanted.
So, perhaps besides doing a Hi Low count, I should be doing a separate count for Aces alone?
