Im aware that halves is not the best choice and in fact performs the worst out of all the counts in the chart for Lucky Ladies, but it is the count I use and do not want to learn another just for the side bet, etc.

Yes when he says 'whole numbers' I believe he means he doubled the tags, so my original question is can I just assume with decimal tags the strike point would be 5 instead of 10?
