Taking "even money" when you have a blackjack against a dealer ace is the same as making the insurance bet, so you should take it at at the same TC at which you would normally take insurance.

Which is +3 for multi-deck, hi-lo.

... you should take even money a little bit earlier than with the normal index. You can use the composition dependent index for ATvA.
So you would insure at (according to the algebraic indices):
1D) +0.09 (instead of +1.41)
2D) +1.76 (instead of +2.38)
6D) +2.84 (instead of +3.01)

Should I multiply those new indices by 2 for a level-2 count?

You can't just do that indiscriminately. You need to specify what the count is and then calculate the index precisely. Also, if you use a level-2 count, you probably should be dividing by half-decks remaining, rather than full decks, for more accuracy.

AOII has insurance, i.e. even $ in this case @ +6.
not correct. It should be
+4 single deck
+5 double deck
and +6 4/6/8 deck

What about HO2?

I use +3 for SD and +4 for multi-deck. I used to use +4 for all games, but the sims showed that +3 at SD games gave a slight extra gain.

If you want a super accurate insurance count for HO2, add the ace side count to your running count and take insurance at ((DECKS X 4) + 1).
The IC for this count is around 93%, it's easy to calculate, it's accurate to the exact card, and it outperforms all TC insurance numbers in SD, DD, and 6D games. I assume it will outperform at all games, but I've only simmed those 3.

When you add the ace SC to the running count, which figure do you use - aces seen or aces remaining?
Could you give an example of the formula ((DECKS X 4) + 1) for say, a 2D game? Thanks for the tip.
