You are keeping a side count of 7m9c. And you are using 7m9c for only two purposes.

1. Betting; instead of using HL for betting you are using brc = HL + (1/2)*(7m9c).
Firstly, you are no longer counting the 7m9c as (1/2). You are doubling both 7s and 9s, in this case (2)*7m9c. In what literature did you read that say side counting the 7m9c would help you improve betting? Side counting the 7s would help with playing strategies more than betting.

Side counting the 7s alone would help improve the 14 vs T plays but since you are incorporating the 9s, it might hurt the play. Side counting the 9s alone would improve the hard 14s, 15s and 16s playing decision. Why are you choosing the deviation for 13 vs T and NOT 15 vs 9, T, A? Doubting those 6 plays would increase SCORE significantly.
