Norm ( I believe ) is making the point that the BJRM canned-sim-based charts only show what happens to the canned data when the bet jumps between two consecutive counts are restricted to no more than double.

It does NOT reflect what happens when the count increases or decreases more than that, from one round of betting to the next, as can happen when you actually play. Results from that would produce different data values than the charts I show.

This sort of nuance underscores the difficulty of doing a "fair" comparison between different counting systems. The first set of charts are "fairer" than the second set.

For "quick and dirty", the BJRM charts will not be far off, but for pure research you would need to use Norm's software to do "fair" custom sims of bet restriction, and real world chip denominations.

I'm just showing the BJRM data adjusted artifically. The second set of charts would probably have been better if I had not check-boxed the "2x Jumps max" .
