Please don't shoot the messenger!
For whoever is interested, here are the SCOREs for the simulations that were requested by bjanalyst. The reason it took so long is that I made an error when configuring the indices. The initial results didn't look right and it took a bit of trial an error to track it down at a time when this was not my top priority.
In the table below:
- HiLo+7m9c-b refers to using the 7m9c side count for betting decisions only. HiLo and HiLo indices were used for playing decisions.
- HiLo+7m9c-p refers to using the 7m9c side count for playing decisions only (the 6 indices proposed in the previous thread). HiLo and HiLo indices were used for all other playing decisions.
- HiLo+7m9c-b-p refers to using the 7m9c side count both for betting and for the 6 playing decisions playing decisions. HiLo and HiLo indices were used for all other playing decisions.
It can be seen that the use of 7m9c to supplement HiLo does offer about a 3%-5% improvement for both betting and playing decisions and about a 7%-10% improvement when using it for both, depending on the scenario. It does not approach the performance of HiOpt II+ASC, but bjanalyst has already conceded that in the original thread.
