Card Counting Spanish 21

"is only 8. Can you see what I mean?"

If you sum the positive and the negative integers and get the
same amount on each side of the equation, the count is BALANCED.

Ugh. I'm fully aware of what a balanced count is and how it works. But that's not the issue.

The tags of

1 2 3 3 0 0 -2 -3

1 2 3 3 0 0 -2 -3
v v v v v v v v
2 3 4 5 7 8 10 A

Can you see what is wrong? You've missed listing two tags, that being (I'd imagine) 6 and 9, with 7 and 8 being neutral at 0. Is it fair to assume that 6 and 9 are respectively either 1 or 2 and -1 or -2? Given that I know how a balanced count works, it would balance out either side at either +10 and -10 or +11 and -11 with 7 and 8 being neutral.

Do you understand this?

Beginner card counter and rank amateur mathematician so I need help from someone to tell me if this would be a viable counting system for Sp21.

Its mostly copied from Arnold Snyder's Red Seven blackjack count with the exception that ALL 7s are neutral/obviously the 10s are gone/ and the 4 aces are all counted as +1.5

Each deck of 48 cards would still have a count of +2 so in an 8 deck shoe, you would start count at negative -16 just like in Arnold Snyder's Red 7.

I'm thinking I would start increasing my bets at the same indices used in the Red Seven count but I may be mistaken and that's why I posted here?

Thanks

As a beginner, you shouldn't be trying to reinvent the wheel. There are established systems available. I suggest you learn one of them, and if/when you gain sufficient experience, then consider trying to improve them.

The reason why I'm posting here is b/c I've read Katrina Walker's book and her counting system involves constantly having to convert the running count back to a true count and I don't want to have to do something like that.

I'm more than happy to get the same .8% edge the Arnold Snyder's red seven count gets of the HILO count. The other reason I'm posting is b/c like I said I'm unsure of the indices/math when making an ACE equal to +1.5.

Thanks
