Thanks for the reply. I appreciate it. I might be misunderstanding what you're trying to illustrate, though. Sorry.
When I have true count conversion set to floor, a running -1 divided by 6, floors to a true -1.
When I have true count conversion set to truncate, a running -1, divided by 6, does not floor to -1. TC is 0.
Thus when I switch to the truncate TC division option, as expected, a running -1
doesn't floor to a true -1.
Maybe that's a weird way to say it, but I'm more familiar with the term floor than truncate.

Suppose that someone were playing a 1,000 deck shoe, and the running count dropped to -1. I would imagine that -1/1000 ~= TC0 is a more accurate statement than -1/1000 ~= TC-1.
Ultimately though, I use it because that's what BJA teaches. It's kind of the lingua franca for test-outs and practicing with others, so I adopted it. For what it's worth, they also use truncate for the deck estimation divisor. I originally learned rounding deck estimation because I started with casino verite and switched over to truncate for the same reason.
Thanks
