KO with one side count, 5m7c, on par with HO2 w ASC for shoe game, no side counts

Did you not learn anything from last time!?

Introducing the Dogman Count


The dogman Count is a level 2 count with 9 independent side counts. This allows for near perfect play with a BD of 0.99, a PE of 0.93, and a IC of 1.00!

We start with a simple balanced Ten count with point tags [A-T] : <0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 -2>. This allows us to have near perfect insurance when it comes to accounting for it per dealer Ace up-card! To increase efficiency for Insurance, and ASC is recommended. In addition to the ASC, we will use it for accounting for drawing to doubling on all hands given. Dogman also recommends using the 6, 7, 8, and 9 side counts to get the best of all stiff draw hands. The 4 and 5 side count allows extra betting efficiency while allowing you to beat HOII with ASC & 7SC!!!! A 2, 3 side count is needed to account for drawing on all soft totals over 17.

Sim results show that side counting all ranks allows us to play nearly perfect play and betting! Side counting all ranks is pathetically easy and anyone who is a real card-couter (and not those level one "counters" to give themselves away so easlily at the table!) can master this in less than an hour! This even beats the Tarzan/DHMC system(s) and is close to that of Eric Farmers and MGP's BJCA's! It so easy, my friend Freightman (who is not as bright as I am) learned it and is using it as part of his FBM ASC!

Gronbog's sims demonstrate that the overal SCORE is 6.02*10^23!!! Take that HOII with ASC & 7SC!

I would like to point out that I have always been right and that no one here can disprove me as I am very smart!

Excellent commentary, especially your thoughts regarding the FBM ASC. I still haven’t decided yet whether or not I will see Don on my upcoming New York trip. He has been pestering me on nuances to the FBM ASC, for inclusion in his upcoming BJA4.

I was also fascinated by your comments regarding 6,7,8 and 9 side counts. The possibilities for improvement to play are endless.

Quite innumerable, my friend!

With regard to the 6,7,8,9 independent side counts, one is here forewarned on the practical implications of perfect play on stiff hands. While you are gaining near perfect efficiency with respect to the middle card side counts, one is also at risk of errors. Hence, why only "real, serious counter only!" applies to the Dogman count.

A quick trip through ToBJ 6th Edition will render the reader *more* prepared to attack the game and palce them in the coveted 0.1% of players who are "professional" in their own right.

Or you can simply coax (sp?) Tarzan to teach you his columnar approach (including the 6 through 9 middle grouping), and avoid having to SC 4 cards independently.

The above quote was in jest.

Also, to be pedantic: Counting the 9 in the 6-9 column actually reduced the PE of the system at hand, as the 9 acts as a "big card" most of the time rather than vacillate between "big" and "small".

There are other factors associated with keeping singular rank side counts as they offer different EOR's for each hand total per up-card. This means different values when adjusting the main running count of your system.
