How Comps are Calculated

[RatherNotGiveMyRealName]

Yes, very interesting ideas, but probably not so useful for red or green chippers, since he describes high-stakes play (with presumably juicy rules like fewer decks, S17 DAS LS. Also, the book dates from a time when 6:5, 8 decks and H17 were not so widespread).

A large amount of the second edition is geared towards comp-seeking green chippers. I am also lucky to have S17 DAS LS tables semi-locally. I agree though that it’s missing advice for red-chippers like myself. I’ve had to go to forums for answers about red-chipping but I’ve gotten great advice.

Thanks! I read BTTILV back in 2011 and didn't remember this green chip comp stuff. I do remember an episode where Andersen lost a multiple high stakes split hand against all odds, due to pure bad luck, and ran through the casino floor yelling before returning to the table, which I found quite natural. A non-AP player would get upset by such bad luck, so why not an AP player too, as long as he can still play on consequently, knowing that "shit happens".
