    … not all TC2s have equal EV
    … not all TC3s have equal EV
    … not all TC4s have equal EV
    and so on

    The differences in EV within the same TC lie mainly in the ratio of middle cards
    Thus, we’re talking about 789s or 6789s

    Further to my just made 2 word positive response - some additional thoughts on this post as it makes an excellent brief explanation of QTC, or Quality of True Count.

    Just as higher true counts lead to higher success rates of doubles, splits and other plays, higher QTC’s lead to higher success rates of doubles, splits and other plays over identical True Counts. Further, the same premise of high and low QTC’s can be applied to adjustment of index play.

    Granted, the concepts have not been proven or fine tuned by simulation. However, to do so would be very difficult to analyze to a precise degree. In any event, the premise is solid.

    I watched that. His team hit +ev early on to go up around 70k. Then -ev kicked in hard resulting in then losing it all and breaking even. Then covid lockdown kicked in and he returned to England
