    Red 7 DD Snyder vs. Red 7 DD CVData (Illustrious 18)

    This shows the power of today’s modern computers.

    Here is the differences between Snyder’s old published work for the Red 7 DD illustrious 18 vs. what CVData gives for a DD H17, DAS game.

    RED 7 counted as 1
    Black 7 counted as 0
    IRC starts as -4 (each deck starts as -2)

    *No true count
    *Single Strategy using the DD H17 basic strategy chart from Wizard of Odds

    Well, those are Arnold's compromise indices.

    Hey Norm,

    Yea it shows you the amazing technology that we have today as compared to back then. It’s amazing now how specific we can be in trying to generate indices for certain games without having to make the compromises between single and double deck and H17 and S17.

    My point is that they were purposely compromise indices for ease of use.

    Thanks for that info Norm! I wasn’t sure if it there was a coincidence of the reoccurring 0, 2, 4 pattern. I can see what you mean in terms of making it a bit easier to use with less varying integers.

    This is what I got for 6D. Surprised to see insurance set at 11. Also not sure why no indices for splitting 10s.

    Don't expect the correct indices to look anything like compromise indices. Compromise indices are often very different, particularly with running count strategies. Fact is, an index that is quite different, although inferior, can still be better than no index at all.

    In the configuration, go to Tools-Export, create an export file and email it. I'll take a look at your settings.

    Email sent. Thanks so much Norm. This means a lot to me that you are willing to take a look at the settings.
