It takes some courage to talk in my favor here.
Many people don't understand that using fractional indices is not only more efficient but also simpler than dealing with whole number indices where there is a lot of confusion about whether to truncate,floor or round.
The disagreement about indices in BJ-literature that existed when I started my career made me create my own index generator.It was a CA-program that was able to find indices as precise as you like with the infinite deck approach.Later on I integrated them in my simulation program and when I saw that the results were very encouraging I decided to become professional BJ-player.
Seven years later, I have no reason to regret this decision.
The faith in my own indices gives me a lot of assurance while I'm playing and allows me to take quick decisions even if it's a close call.
