You are right that even in a negative count, if the cards from which your hand and hit cards will be dealt are rich in tens and aces, you have an advantage. However, you can not predict such situations from the count alone, so you can't take advantage of them. Unless you have other information about when the high cards are coming out, you should stick to betting more in high counts and less (or nothing) in low counts.
