    That is why I joined this discussion for new approaches. I am not worried about being backed off, because I have a thick skin.
    Who cares about a thick skin when you can have both longevity and superior results - Silly rabbit

    I have been thinking about the covariance problem because this is critically related to when to play two blackjack hands simultaneously. The issue here is that it is probably related to the Ace cards in the deck. Suppose we have a 6-deck shoe with the strip rules, if six Aces are removed from this shoe, will the covariance of two simultaneous hands become smaller? I am thinking that if the covariance becomes larger, I will play one hand, and if the covariance becomes smaller, I will play two hands whenever I have an advantage. Can anybody estimate the effect of removal on the covariance?

    You’re over trolling, or rather thinking this one. Keep it simple and relate it.- properly to true count and table population. Of course, if you want better superior results, consider the regaled FBM ASC Advanced system.

    I have been researching bjanalyst’s count systems because I tend to use a level one system. I’d like to research your FBM ASC system soon.

    Then I lay down the gauntlet to you, as I have done on multiple occasions to the forum, to determine the underlying theory which led me on my path. The clues may be in your own playing records as they were in mine, they are certainly buried in my posts and well before those posts revealing theories on intermediate density.

    There have been no takers.

    I am very interested in your Count system. Let me dig into some earlier posts and do some research first. Thank you for your info.
