    Opp count bet ramp for 8 decks.

    Just recently learned they opp count after reading two articles by Arnold snyder. In the second article entitled improving the opp count or something to this effect he shows a table with an optimal bet ramp for a 6 deck game.

    Anyone can point me to where I can find same table for an 8 deck game?

    thanks

    Oppositions betting requires a strong bankroll coupled with a solid nderstanding of shoe description. Essentially you are continuing to ramp up in a declining Count situation.

    CVCX and CVData are softwares from Norm.
    You can buy it on qfit.com
    Gramazeka thought that CVCX could generate a ramp for OPP
    It's wrong
    Only CVData can.

    The relevance of OPP is irrelevant.

    OPP is a very poor count. I'd suggest learning a different count.

    Just about anything is stronger. Much stronger.

    Joking aside I agree with Norm.
    There is an enormous difference. Norm is not blowing hi Opt 2 up our asses.

    I agree.
    But to answer the next question of OP, Ace/five is worse.
    And I strongly recommend to begin with REKO before moving to something else (or not)

    I am thinking of starting to push higher level counts again because of all you comments about playing with your balls when you play. Someone has to balance the scales.
    I got it - no problem. Balancing the scales is exactly what Im doing. I encourage your participation in this gladiator sport. Advance warning though - I got dibs on the balls. You'll have to develop your own body part - well - u know what I mean

    Speaking of which, Bubbles asked a legit question. My new product line includes inflatable balls. Buy 2, and I throw in a scrotum.

    Very different.
    Norm has constantly bashed OPP/Speed Count but has never push any count including its great REKO.

    Hi-lo, REKO and KO are all stronger than OPP/Speed Count. If you are looking for a strong and powerful card counting system with complex power but want to keep the count as simple as possible I would recommend the UBZ II or an unbalanced level 2 count. Even the unbalanced version of UBZ II outperforms Hi-lo full in SCORE. You can also further upgrade the system to play blackjack professionally.
