Let us take an example or two.
The Hi-Lo R.C. is +10 and there are 2 of 6 unseen decks remaining.
R.C. = +10 and T.C. = (precisely) +5.
Now it becomes more likely than 'normal' for extra Aces and Face Cards to be played thus
reducing the R.C. while that number, as it is reduced, is divided by a smaller number of decks
remaining. BUT the delta of the numerator (rate of change) will have a tendency to be dropping
faster than the R.C. is what I was thinking.
Here is an example taken from the aforementioned.
There are 3 players and the cards dealt on the following round are mostly Faces and Aces,
so the R.C. drops to +4. There are 11 cards dealt so now we have +5/1.75 for a T.C. of +2.85
that I floor to +2. The TC was cut in half in one round.
NOW, looking at a more likely reduction in the R.C. so that it drops to +7 we have a computation
of +7/1.75 = (precisely) +4 Did the TC drop in concert with the RC? Yes it did ~ both examples.
Even in the more likely case, the drop-off in TC is anything but precipitous.
I guess that I had been viewing this with less than stellar objectivity. Thanx muchly, Don.
