I noticed several of the level one systems are very similar. HiLo, REKO, Silver Fox. They all have either +1, -1, or 0 for each card. The betting correlation all seem pretty consistent/high. I noticed the only 0 that Silver Fox has is for 8. To make it simpler, what if I just made 8 +1?. That way when you are counting the cards, you can just have two bins, and can consider every 2 hand +2 except to the extent you see a 9/10 card/Ace. Presumably that won't make the count, now simplified, that much worse since other systems seem to deal with those middle cards differently in any event, and all are still very good. Thoughts? Sorry if this gets asked a lot, I'm definately a rookie.

Thanks!
