    Question on CVCX Departure Adjustments and Wongout Method

    What is the difference between a setting of 0 for departure adjustment in a CVCX simulation and a setting of "Off" (box unchecked) for departure adjustment. I get two different optimal ramp,win rates, and statistics shown on the main screen. Are these two not essentially saying the same thing?

    Also, I notice when I run a CVCX sim with wonging activated (start at shuffle, out at -14RC, force shuffle on exit, no exit on win or push) which results in 85.1% of hands played I get a SCORE for a certain ramp of around $58.00, but when I run the same simulaton with the Wonging part set to off and then just use the Backcount spinner to get to roughly the same percentage of hands played but otherwise the exact same betting strategy the SCORE is around $52.50. Does this mean that somehow Wongout by Running Count is superior to Wongout by True Count or am I just missing something (more likely).

    Departure Adjustment and the Back-Counting option on the stats screen both use estimation techniques. Only way you can do this in a post-sim calculator. The Wonging function added in the last release is a pre-sim function and is accurate.

    Frankly, both options bother me. But, people wanted them.
