Once again, thread hijacked. Title has nothing to do with Hi-Lo or Hi-Opt II, or betting ramps and bins.
Why can’t posters stick to aims of OP’s???

"Your honor, with all due respect: if you're going to try my case for me, I wish you wouldn't lose it."
Fictitious Boston Attorney Frank Galvin (Paul Newman - January 26, 1925 - September 26, 2008) in The Verdict, 1982, lambasting Trial Judge Hoyle (Milo Donal O'Shea - June 2, 1926 - April 2, 2013) - http://imdb.com/title/tt0084855/
I got involved because the statements about constructing ramps seemed to be made by someone that was unfamiliar with constructing level 2 ramps. The more bins you have to use when constructing ramps, generally the more exacting you can get. The range from a simple count to the the most complex count is like the difference between using a sharp rock to do surgery and choosing the exact scalpel appropriate for the job at hand when it comes to getting exact with things. BJ is a pretty blah when it comes to betting so everything works to varying degrees but if you ever attack other games more bins can be very helpful for constructing much stronger ramps in more ways than one. First you have to figure out how to construct a count that would discern the various different types of advantage. Each type has very different deck compositions and quite different stats to base bets on.
I love it, Theory of Blackjack for beginners, hehe...
Blackjack Blueprint is a very good book for starters. And I am also a big fan of Norm's book Modern Blackjack; in fact, if there was one single book that I would recommend a beginner to devour, it would be that book.
Scuba ... Is that you smirking, or are you suffering partial anoxia?
There is enormous value in this priceless work, even for the semi-innumerate.
If you ever want to learn/teach anything complex, you commence with
THEORY.
In fact, The Theory of Poker by David Sklansky is also the correct place for
poker players to begin.
Yup, you commence with theory...
Yes, when I learned how to ride a bike, I clearly remember studying the theory of bicycle riding thoroughly, inside and out, before I rode my bike down the street.
The same thing with my times tables. Theory, all theory!
Scuba,
Yeah sure! You must have been home-schooled by an Amish family
or a bunch of fundamentalist "preppers" who think that evolution is
a theory. Of course, you know that North Korean and Muslim students
are never taught theories of any kind.
So nobody ever taught you that if your Scuba gear fails and you have
to rise from a solid depth quickly, without decompression, it is the
nitrogen bubbles forced into your blood-stream that causes the very
dangerous "bends", they just said "Don't do it" and that was fine with
you ?
I suppose that you never read "The True Count Theorem"
Something tells me that you may lack formal education.
