Index Generation

"This is the fastest strategy index generator known to man, compliments of Sam Case. It does have some limitations regarding rule variations, and it only works with balanced counting systems. But have fun with it. The index numbers it generates are excellent. " --Arnold Snyder

Fast yes. Accurate, not close. I've known Sam Case for numerous years and respect his work. But this is just an old program based on a poor estimation technique. The indexes you can find in books are much better. All (and I mean all) of the software on that site is inaccurate and obsolete.

Hi QFIT, which software package is offered on your site, if I am mainly interested in generating index numbers for a new card counting system (and possibly including side counts)?

Also, do you happen to know any free index generation software online that is more reliable (apart from the couple mentioned in the previous posts under this thread)? I know that would counter-advertise your software package, though.

Thanks!

On my site, CVData. For free, BJStrat is a very old program that is free and around somewhere I'm sure. But I've never tested its accuracy.

Thanks! I did download BJStrat, as linked in zengrifter's original post, but the supposedly executable file somehow did not work for me. Maybe I have to work with the c code provided along with the package to test it.

By "poor estimation method" I presume you mean the 'algebraic approximation' approach?
I always like algebraic approximation index, on general principal. zg

It's fun to come up with such algorithms. But, this is called an approximation for good reason. I respect the effort. But, wouldn’t actually use the results.

The aproximated index generator in my old trusty NeUltra worked great.
Later when Richard Reid came out with his own trainer he told me that he "improved" the algorithm, but I thought it was of no consequence.

Remember when Sam Case had a side-business generating algebraic indices? zg

Then again, he also lead discussions on magic tricks. Don't know if they're related.
