Ladies and Gentlemen,
hi everybody,
I have searched the whole world but I cannot find a new copy of the "Brh Systems Book" by Dr. Brett Harris to purchase anywhere.
If anybody is willing to sell me his private copy I would be most grateful. I will pay an unbelievable good price!
Think about it!
Best Regards

I don't have the book but if you're interested I have generated running count indices for 1 deck H17 50% penetration: NoDAS, DAS, and LS. In my opinion BRH is the best count for single deck without going to level 3.
What is in the book? I know he he says it's most powerful in true count mode but I don't see the point. Also, an easier way to side count aces is to simply subtract 1 for each ace. Then you have the Zen count with a 96% Bet Correlation. Although I don't think side counting aces makes much difference in single deck.

Hi Mike,
Thank you for your comments.
There are two unbalanced running count systems by Brett Harris I am very interested in:
I.
Brh-0 (2…A): 2,2,2,2,2,1,0,0,-2,-2
In fact a kind of Red7 with tags doubled.
“Brh-0 compares nicely to UBZ2 in terms of ease and power ….” (zengrifter, 8 February 2002, Parker Pages, Blackjack Main).
II.
Br0-1 (2…A): 1,2,2,3,2,1,0,0,-2,-2
III.
Is it possible to generate running count indices for the playing conditions of my home casino in Palma de Mallorca, Spain:
ENHC, 6 D, DOA, DAS, S17, EARLY SUR (not vs. A), 4/6 PEN.
Thank you very, very much for your help.
Best Regards

Brett Harris himself seems to have dropped off the end of the world. He must have taken a step too far at the antipodes.
Sorry about that the count I was referring to is...
Brh-II (2-A): 1,1,2,2,2,1,0,0,-2,0
Like I said it's the best count for single deck without going to level 3.
I do not have indices for Brh-0 or Brh-I. I would recommend purchasing CVData from www.qfit.com. It comes pre-loaded with many popular counts and their published indices. You can also create a custom count and generate indices for all rule variations, penetration levels, etc. Then you can run a simulation to see how the different systems compare. About the only thing it doesn't do is calculate optimal bets, for that you need CVCX or calculate them yourself. If you have any questions about the software just post on the "Computing for Counters" page.

Sorry for the english language speaking people,
my answer is in german:
Horst, was versprichst Du Dir von Bret Harris?
Fakt ist, Du hast maximal durch counten einen
Vorteil von 2 % durchg?ngig.
Du kannst De?nen Arsch drehen und wenden wie Du
willst, auch durch kompliziertere Countsysteme
erreichst Du nicht viel mehr.
Counten ist sowieso ein gef?hrliches Thema.
Harris hat ja schon vor Jahren simuliert,
da? von 10 Jahren counten, 1 Jahr broke geht.
Vergiss es, ich mache sequenzing mit 8% mathematischen
Vorteil, da komme ich ganz schnell aus der 2-3 fach
neg. standart deviation raus, wenn Du ?berhaupt weisst was das heisst.
Tr?ume weiter K.H.

Hi,
vielen Dank f?r den sachlichen Teil Deiner Antwort. Aber warum der g?nnerhafte Ton? Das hat doch ein kreativer Kopf nicht n?tig.
Gleichwohl ist der Hinweis auf die Problematik des Countens nat?rlich richtig und auch mir bekannt. Auch der Begriff Standard Deviation ist mir durchaus gel?ufig.
Es handelt sich hier um eine Buchrecherche: um den Versuch, einen wenig bekannten Beitrag eines interessanten Autors zu finden und meiner privaten Bibliothek hinzu zu f?gen. Es gibt auch Leute, die sammeln Kochb?cher. Ich sammele Blackjack-Literatur. Das ist alles.
Weiterhin viel Erfolg und Good Luck

I haven't dropped off the edge of the Earth yet, but you do have to be careful down here ;-)
I am currently attempting without success to get my book published in the States, so meanwhile anyone wanting a copy, send me an email at [email protected] - the price is $30US which can be paid via PayPal.
Brett.

Good to know. There is still plenty of interest in your counting systems, as evidenced by the threads that pop up now and then on this forum. Thanks for stopping by.
PCF,
Apologies for the horrible formatting, I hope you get the idea. I either email or put Chapters 6-10 on disk, to spare the rainforests of SE Asia.
I have tried two different US BJ publishers without much success, I have become aware of Lulu as a possibility... As with my general scientific day-job, love the work, hate stuffing around publishing, oh.. then I would have to put up my own web-site... bugger... need a webcam for the YouTube advertisement..
;-)
