Hi, i'm another newbie, have been reading Thorps Beat the Dealer recently and i am confused.
Regarding the Ten Count Thorp states that off the top the ratio of non-tens/tens is 36-16 or 2.25-1. After removal of 4 non-tens the ratio will now be 32-16 or 2-1 and at this point Thorp states that the player will enjoy approx 1% advantage. So far so good. However, what if the 4 non-tens that are out, happen to be Aces. With an EOR of -.61 each , the removal of the 4 Aces would further the house's advantage by over 2%. Am I missing something here? I would be grateful for any help.
