Does anyone use this?If the insurance count is exactly 0, you will lower your variance by insuring any soft hand, any 8- 11, and any 18-21. (In this
context , the table below is an approximation, because it does not condition on a count of 0.

I think this is in reference to an unbalanced count system where the index for insurance is 0. I know this because OP made a similar post a couple of months ago.

The magnificent, definitive study on the subject was done by R. Michael Canjar ("MathProf"), pp. 3-34 of Optimal Play: Mathematical Studies of Games and Gambling, edited by Stewart Ethier and William Eadington. The last page of the article contains complete Hi-Lo indices for every hand you can possibly get. They range from a low of 1.5 (A,9) to a high of 3.5 (T,5 and T,6).
There is also a famous online study by Cacarulo, published here, 16 years ago, in which Norm and I participated: https://www.blackjacktheforum.com/sh...-for-Insurance
