    So, you start your RC at +8 and there are 2 decks remaining. Now, half deck is gone and 5 high cards are out. According to your hypo the TC should be (8-5)/(2-0.5) = 3/1.5 = +2, right?

    Curious: that's wrong

    The correct answer is +2.94. I thought you were going to answer that which is a common mistake among shuffle trackers. Try to read something about the NRS formula and you'll understand why the answer is +2.94 and not +2.

    Thanks, but is there any explanation for those of us that while not being totally mathematically challenged, would not be prime candidates for MIT either?

    Unfortunately, there's no simple explanation. Theory is Theory

    You have to accept the math, Bill, but the layman's explanation is very simple. You make an estimate based on the best information you THINK you have. Then, the cards start to fall. And, when they fall in a manner that suggests that, quite probably, your slug is not composed the way you thought it was, you make a mid-slug adjustment, on the fly, to take advanatage of what is now a BETTER estimate of the composition of the cards that you're about to play.

    Make sense?

    Mister M: Re Examples

    Perhaps you can give a few simplified examples then?.

    I'm sorry, but I thought the original post gave such an example. What, exactly, are you looking for?

    No matter what example is offered, it will have to apply the formula, which is what I thought we were trying to avoid.

    I think the poster stated that he did not understand the math involved in the nrs formula and therefore was seeking a simplified approach. no?
    Perhaps the poster would care to ask a specific question re; the formula?.
