    Thanks for the reference to the sims you did for HL, Red 7 and KO

    The results of your sims are at odds with my CC projections that Red 7 beats HL and that KO beats Red 7. And as you know my CC technique has been proven again and again to be wildly successful. It is hard to argue with success.

    In a previous post I had listed the KO indices that I derived using the LSL technique and suggested that you re-run your sims using the true count formula and the KO indices I gave you where tc(KO) = 4 + (KO - 4*n)/dr where tc(KO) = KO true count, KO = KO running count, n = number of decks and dr = decks remaining.

    It should further be noted that the KO indices are very close to the HL indices so there really just a few situations where KO indices differs from HL indices that need to be learned.

    For the shoe game I suggested KO with my TCRC (Table of Critical Running Counts) so in practice there is no need to use a formula to calculate the true counts for the shoe game.

    For the two deck game where true counts jump all over the place, I would not use an unbalanced count but I would suggest HL with Am6c (and 5m9c) or the HL2 with Am6c (and 5m9c) where HL2 is the HL with the 2 counted at +1/2 instead of +1 in the HL and the 7 counted as +1/2 instead of 0 in the HL.

    My simulator is fine tuned with those 2 brilliant pieces.
    Thanks
    What about your count makes it impossible to simulate in CVCX?

    Multi-parameter, level 2+, and suit-aware counts are not allowed.

    FWIW I've never seen an actual sim of a suit-aware count that didn't suck. Feel free to post one. The Red7 Shoe strategy that comes with CVCX is about 10% weaker than REKO-F Six Deck on 6D H17 DAS LS RSA 1.0. And it's actually even weaker than that, because the tags have 7 as 0.5 so CVCX can handle it, instead of doing the actual suit-aware thing that adds noise and probably costs an additional 5% or so.

    I'll offer a separate prize category of $100 for the best suit aware DD count (but only if it's 1% better than the OP).

    It seems extremely unlikely I'll have to pay out, because suit-awareness adds noise to the count with irrelevant info.

    There is less difference than people think in using different colors versus fractions in shoe games.

    Also note that these calculations are not considered valid in unbalanced strategies.
    Calculations are as valid with unbalanced counts as with balanced counts.

    The CC works with both balanced and unbalanced counts.

    The CC is invariant under a linear transformation which can be easily verified by reference to any math text book.

    Attached are two PDFs.

    1. The first PDF shows the unbalanced KO count and it's balanced version (which is a linear transformation of the unbalanced KO) have a CC of 100% and are equivalent.

    2. The second PDF shows the calculation of the infinite deck index and other statistics using KO and KO.balanced. All statistics are the same with KO and its balanced version KO.balanced.

    .... suit-awareness adds noise to the count with irrelevant info.
    Exactly correct, suit awareness does add noise. Refer to PDF in previous post where I compared the CC of various counts.

    For betting S17, DAS, LS here are the betting CC as seen in the attacked PDF.

    B2R7....95.17%
    Red 7... 96.40%
    HL........96.51%
    KO.......96.51%
    HL2......97.64%

    The HL2 I defined as the HL but with the deuce counted as +1/2 instead of +1 in the HL and the seven counted as +1/2 instead of 0 in the HL.

    B2R7 is the HL with black 2 as +1 and red 2 as zero and red 7 as +1 and black 7 as zero.

    The PDF attached to that previous post showed the CC of B2R7 compared to HL2, The difference in the CC clearly show the noise you were referring to when suit awareness is taken into consideration.

    Counting the Red 7's as 1 and the black 7's as zero is NOT the same and inferior to counting all sevens as +1/2.

    Infinite deck indices are very useful since as the CC increases, the indices for all decks converge to the infinite deck index.

    My goal in using side counts is to increased the CC of the most common plays rather than adding indices for plays that almost never happen and my strategy works and so infinite deck indices become more and more accurate as CC increase.

    See attached PDF from a book that I am currently finishing that shows this.

    Basically, I disagree with just about everything you said in your last four posts. But, I'm not going to try to argue against a flood of words.

    Everyone is entitled to their opinion and i appreciate and accept and respect your opinion.

    I would also like to point out that I did NOT prove that your count was inferior, that is just MY opinion which is based on the facts I mentioned previously.

    1. The CC and LSL method has been proven to increase the SCORE in over 20 simulations of various counts with side counts and in every single case when the CC increased, the SCORE increased.

    2. The betting CC of both of your suit recognized counts falls below the HL, Red 7 and KO.

    I did not bother running CC for individual strategy changes with your suit recognized counts but I am sure the same result would have happened. You lose information by counting, for example, the Red 7 as +1 and Black 7 as zero as compared to counting all 7's as +1/2 - they are not equivalent.

    Now MY conclusion is, which may be incorrect and I concede open to your arguments and rebuttal, is that your suggested suit recognized counts will perform worse than the HL, Red 7 and KO.

    I want to stress that I did NOT prove that your count systems would perform worse that HL, Red 7 and KO. That is just my conclusion which is open to rebuttal. Maybe I am wrong as this is just my unproven conclusion.

    As I said before, whether my conclusion makes sense I will leave that up to the reader to decide.

    But what the reader should considered is that the CC and LSL has been proven to work in over 20 simulations so why should it stop working now for your suit recognized level one counts?

    But this is all theoretical anyhow as no one would use such a suit recognized counts that you suggested.

    There is something seriously wrong with you. You have no OFF switch. Just shut the fuck up, already.

    Not going to happen.My way is the only way: no one responds. He may talk to himself for a while, but eventually, he will stop posting when, in essence, the posts fall on deaf ears, or more accurately, on blind eyes. Until then, he will cut and paste the same drivel, ad nauseam, with the same information he has provided 100 times.
