    Are any Indexes in Wong's Professional Blackjack wong?

    Aside from the obvious 1 offs in negative counts due to truncating. I only ask because I recently saw this: (which, assuming it's for late surrender, doesn't affect me anyways)

    https://www.blackjacktheforum.com/at...achmentid=3076 (sorry idk how to embed an attachment any better)

    And I just want to make sure I'm aware of any other possible incorrect indexes if there happens to be any more.

    Thanks

    Apparently 17vA for a H17 game is wrong as well. Casino Verite took the information from wongs bookand verite says to simply surrender for halves at ALL counts, meanwhile people on this forum say to only surrender below +2.

    Wong had many versions of his book, and each version had several printings. Errors were subsequently corrected in some instances, but not all. In addition, he had the terribly unfortunate switch from flooring to truncating for all of his indices, and that caused further confusion.

    Don, or anyone do you know if Wong made any disclosure on his board, or anywhere else that there may be errors in some versions?

    In my version of his book he says: "the fifth printing (late 1999) of this book contains revised numbers for splitting 4-4 for the situation of double allowed after split. The sixth printing (early 2001) contains revised numbers for the late surrender of 8-8 against 10 and ace. Those are the only index numbers changed since the 1994 revision."

    Neither one of you means S17 and H17, of course (the upcard is a 10!). You mean DAS and NDAS. And yes, there is a difference.
