That is not the case. His main count takes into account all the cards played to make the most accurate decision. It doesn't do that in the weak way linear counts make decisions, reducing everything to a number on a number line. It spreads the possible deck compositions out into multiple dimensions and uses an exact decision barrier for a small and closely related set of deck compositions that fall in the same 3 or 4 dimensional bin as the current deck composition. The decision pool isn't polluted by a ridiculous amount of unrelated deck compositions. If you can't understand that you really don't understand what you are doing when you count to begin with.
When you count you take the average of a bunch of dec compositions that fall into the same decision bin and assume that it is correct for all the deck compositions in the bin. You know this assumption is wrong but it is the best use of the information as you gather it. If you gather and use information differently the bin has eliminated the vast majority of deck compositions into other bins which allows a much more accurate decision. Obviously this is huge for the deck compositions that are not anywhere near the average for traditional counts. Instead of only making accurate decisions near the peak of the decision bell curve and inaccurate for most of the decision bell curve, you can make much more accurate decision for the entire data set by separating it into dozens of bins each populated by more closely related deck compositions. I don't expect you to understand that as you don't seem to understand much and are an I read it somewhere and follow a formula guy rather than I understand what I am doing guy.
You are so far up your own a$$ as well as your ego, which makes you think you can reinvent the wheel to add some crazy new edge. Face it, no matter how many cards you can side count in a shoe game, the shoe is simply too diluted with so many cards that there will never be a big enough surplus or deficit in a certain card denomination to make 'accurate' play decisions add any significance to your EV. Just look at what side counting the best card in the game does for a shoe game win rate. Side counting the ace doesn't do jack $hit. You guys try to reinvent the wheel to try and act smart, but you can't. If you find a deeply dealt pitch game, then that's a different story, but please dont try to spread misinformation to fake players on this forum and get them all worked up on side counting every single card before even setting foot in a casino. These new players don't know and understand the game and all you're doing is making them waste precious time and precious EV, by sitting at home learning something that will maybe add a couple of dollars to their win rate.
Lastly you're saying maybe I dont understand what im doing with counting to begin with? This is coming from the same guy that says at negative counts he has an advantage when tens come out and that those are advantage rounds. Sure they're advantage rounds when you get a 10 as your first card, but in the long run you betting into a negative count before the round starts, you will see a lot more small cards as your first card thus putting you at a negative IBA. You're the fool here, so just stop the nonsense.
