    FELT - would reducing TAG values be more accurate?

    I’ve switched from HI-LO to FELT and with the new TAG values the running counts swing very positive or negative fast. Is there a reason other than the difficulty of tracking fractions, why it wouldn’t be feasible to go to a +.5 2/7 +1 3-6 -1 T+? Would feel the TC would be more accurate if it was set in this manner? Does anyone have any math behind if this even makes a difference?

    INB4: you should use Wong halves.

    Not sure what you mean by +.5 2/7 +1 3-6 -1 T+. Sounds like you are trying to describe AOII, which requires a side count of aces in today's games.

    He's halved all the RPC/FELT tags, but failed to indicate the Ace along with the T. Effort to keep the TCs similar to Hi-Lo, because of not dividing the RC by half decks, to keep the indices and TCs similar to Hi-Lo.

    Correct, I was simply grouping Aces in with Ts since it’s the same tag. Would there be a detriment to doing the tag values noted earlier?

    Why would you want to do that? Just sounds more difficult.

    I’ve be running into shoes where the first few rounds have been all low cards which have inflated the running count to +20 / 6 = TC 3 by reducing the tags it would be a +10 / 6 = TC 1 (floored).

    Which would make it less precise. Less precision makes for lower accuracy in betting and playing.

    If you crave lower TCs, divide by half decks remaining.

    Thanks, Don! Hope you had a good weekend. Just to clarify are you talking about half deck resolution where my divisor for a 6 deck shoe would 12 or if I was a half deck in to divide by 5.5? Thanks in advance!

    The former. Divide by number of half decks remaining, starting with 12.
