Yes, I urged him vociferously NOT to change his methodology, as it would a) be out of step with the conventional wisdom, and b) would confuse the hell out of everyone. Sadly, he didn't listen. So now, all of his negative indices are one higher than the more prevalent floored ones.
Everyone should also realize that, for his pairs surrender values, whether LS or ES, Wong never specified whether they were for DAS or NDAS, and that obviously also makes a difference.

Something I thought I'd point out just for perfectionists and theoreticians:
As I said, to generate an EV max index, you need to know the dependent indices first. That is, indices with the same dealer upcard for decisions that will be made after the desired decision. This is why CVData generates indices in a certain order. This is important.
However, RA indices actually depend on all of the other indices, not just ones with the same dealer upcard. That is, theoretically you need to know all of the RA indices before you can generate any of them. That's why CVData has an option to generate RA indices and then automatically regenerate them using the just generated indices.
Having said that, I don't suggest anyone use this option as it's overkill. The dependent indices can have a major difference. The effect of the other indices is minor. In my tests ages ago, I rarely saw a difference in results.
Hmm, gives me a new idea on how to set up a more foolproof index run.

I do not think that the late surrender decision for 8-8 vs. T using HiLo is necessarily best determined by true count.
I just cherry picked LS versus T from my data. Full set of data in a text file is here: http://www.bjstrat.net/Downloads/HiLo_88.zip
