Player advantage of zen true counts

#1
I would like to know what zen gives me advantage wise regarding what the current TC is? E.g. a +1-2-3 true count would give me an advantage of x%. My local casino has a .69 house edge and i would like to know what count i would need to have the advantage. Also correct me if i am wrong, but does BS give you an edge of .1?

One more thing,If the running count is 13 and decks left in play are 7 (1.9 TC), would i truncate (round down) to 1 TC, some people are saying it's the best method any advice would be appreciated thanks.

Definitely not! Perfect BS is what gives the 0.69% HE. Ploppies without BS are probably at a 2-4% HE.

You haven't given enough information about the rules and pen to give edges for TCs. I truncate my TC estimates. Most of the literature recommends this.

Each ZEN (1DTC version) TC+1 = .29% (be conservative and call it .25% in practice)

I would ROUND (1.8TC round to 2.0 -or- 1.2TC round to 1.0, etc.).* zg

*IF fractions and other simple math come EASY there is no reason not to be exact, but if you are like most of us rounding is quite sufficient. zg
