What Snyder meant was: When tracking a specific Ace, using key cards for location and alone with the dealer. If you're not 100% (and you rarely are) sure of the position the Ace will land, keep it simple and play only one hand. By doing this, you will "split the Aces" with the dealer, giving you an overall edge of approximately 9% on each of these trials.
52% when you get it.
-34% when the dealer gets it.
This gives 18% on two trials for a net of 9% per trial.

I know, but when he says this he is assuming that the alternative to playing one hand is playing multiple hands also with max bets out, and this is not the only alternative, since you can place your max bet in the box where you have the ace tracked and play minimum bets in all other boxes, either for steering purposes, or to cover that max bet by reducing the chance of the ace going to the dealer.
This is something that every single sequencing team I've seen play does.
Yes, I agree with you 100%. I judge experts among experts. Just look at what Don S. says: “And while variance obviously increases with optimal bets on multiple simultaneous hands, so does e.v., by the same percentage, leaving risk of ruin the same.”
This is faulty math, because this might be true for two or three hands, but definitely false for more hands.
