Multiparameter sims in CVData

[Norm]

You designate the cards in a multi-parameter strategy. Go to Define/Edit Strategies and create a strategy based on the Sample MP strategy in the Multi-Parameter Strategies folder. There are no tag values. I'm not sure what you are thinking about is an MP strategy. See http://www.qfit.com/blackjack-side-counts.htm. MP side counts are described near the end.

Upon my death send my corpse to the ammo factory.

Forget about the multiparameter issue for now.

I did some controlled tests in CVD and determined that indeed the betting side count is added to the main count and not used instead of it. I don't know what I did to get the weird results I got in the first place but all it takes is checking the wrong box etc and everything's affected.

Getting back to the issue of testing 5 v 6 for the 16 v T H/S decision, I still get nonsense.

The effects of removal for 5 and 6 for 16 v T are large and of opposite sign. Per Griffin any excess of 5's over 6's is 60% efficient in the 16 v T decision. Accordingly I generated a new CVIndex config, a new strategy based on composite and even complete BS, tagged 6=-1 and 5=+1, and ran the index generator. The results were "Always Stand," which isn't even basic strategy, whereas per Griffin a running count of <=+1 one should hit, and where I would expect the index to be.

What have I done wrong? I know it probably seems trivial but a conflicting result such as this impeaches my confidence in other results.

Rest massless,

Sorry, I don't understand what you're trying to do. A strategy where six is -1 and five is +1 will generate gibberish.

EDIT: OK, I guess I see what you're doing; although I've never heard of anyone using CVIndex for this purpose. If you want to test for an excess of fives, five must be -1, not +1. You have five set to +1.
