    Need Help: Spanish 21 setup and TC

    I'm in the process of learning Spanish 21. I've read most of Kat's book now. I have created a strategy for Spanish Double-Double because I didn't find one built in. It seems to work correctly but there are a few things I can't figure out. I have CV for both Windows and iPhone. I'm using 6 decks with a starting RC of -24. TC resolution and last deck resolution are set to Exact. TC division and deck estimation are set to Round. All per Kat's book.

    1. The TC is not being displayed. In the iPhone app it correctly displays the RC and decks remaining. Where the TC should be, there is only a hyphen. In the Windows app, the dashboard widget shows the RC but and the label for TC but there is no value displayed for TC.
    2. In the iPhone app, under Unusual Games, I have selected Spanish 21. I can get it back to standard Blackjack by selecting that from the menu. However, in the Windows app, I don't see that option. How do I get the Windows app back to standard Blackjack?
    3. Is there a way to set the CV flash card drills to a specific index range? I have set it to random but that produces a lot of positive counts where a running count starting at -24 has a lot more occurrences of negative counts. So, it's not really drilling the counts I'm most likely to see as much.
    4. Are there sims for Spanish 21 I can load into CVCX? I want to see how different betting ramps and strategies would effect results.


    Thanks in advance.

    1. True Count must be specified in the Counts tab of the playing strategy.
    2. On Options-Settings, Unusual games tab, turn off Unusual game active.
    3. If you set it to true counting, that shouldn't happen. If you just want hands with indices, select hand with indices and the index range should narrow.
    4. No. You would need to run those in CVData.

    On the Insurance/Counts tab I put in the card value and starting count by deck. Screen shot

    Go to Strategies-Playing Strategies simple
    Click Define/Edit Strategy
    Select the strategy
    Hit the Counts Tab
    Change the True Counts Divisor to Full Decks if you want true counting
