    Looks like '3' to me.

    The graph is a little hard to read, but it clearly states: Insure greater or equal to 3 above the graph.

    all these figures are hard to read because the horizontal axis numbers are off too much.

    Well...its free and its valuable...and you just need to look at the number in the red box above the graph to calibrate the line intersect point.

    so, I think the appropriate response is to say 'thank you' to Norm for providing this info and his book for free on the site.

    I am a gambler who want something straightforward and profit making. Regarding your first question, I guess Norm and Don are the right ones to respond, but let me try to answer anyway. If the number of decks is greater than six, indices are more accurate. Otherwise, not.

    No, they are not off. The answer is +3. Keep in mind that different people calculate TC differently. Also, in no way are these charts designed to show fractional indices.
