I see....so how should one come up with the exact theoretical bet ramp? Using simulators? (btw, I actually got my cv package in mail not long after my original post :P now I just need some time to get familiar with it.)

I can imagine that using an incorrect house edge (new shoe) that is off by like 0.03% is probably secondary to other practical issues like rounding of the bets to multiples of $5 and rounding of the deck levels, etc.

However, the bet size around TC ~1 or 1.5 is pretty sensitive to the house edge assumed, which in turn determines when one would bet double of the table minimum (at TC = 2, TC = 2.5, or TC = 3).
