to conclude:

am i correct in saying that no True Count conversion will be necessary for determining the size of our bets during any negative Running Count, and since we know that we will be betting the minimum on minus and neutral True Counts, the Running Count is all we need. moreover, the True Count for our playing desicions will not be calculted often, since on 90% of our hands we will be playing according to basic strategy.

are these assumptions correct?
thanks for all your help.

P.S. is there any way i can use a -RC value accurately as my optimal departure point from shoes?
