+.5

Don is probably using halves doubled to get rid of the fractions.

Yes, right. I've never personally known anyone who actually uses the fractions. The doubling is so much easier. And when that is done, the indices are virtually identical to the RPC.

I’ve always used fractions. Also, indices are virtually identical to hi lo, which is what I started with.

Then, it’s Wong halves doubled. I play Wong halves. The person who encouraged me to switch used fractions. A couple of guys that I mentored use Wong halves. I know you play halves - halves or doubled.

Yeah, I play halves with the fractions. If I had to do it all over again I might try using halves doubled. I tried switching to halves doubled once, but all my index numbers were based on halves with the fractions. I was getting real high running counts with halves doubled and it was throwing me off. I just went back to halves with the fractions. It isn't really that hard.
