I just downloaded a Blackjack simulation program and assigned different betting strategies for 3 players on the same table playing 8-deck game. All 3 simulation players use the same Basic Strategy rule table.
At most times, the player which bet according to a true count bet size table performed no better than the other one which did flat betting.
The final player which used a progressive betting strategy (1 unit start; each consecutive win bet one more unit to a max of 5 units; back to 1 unit when lose 1 game) outperformed the other 2 players.
During the simulation the true count seldom went higher than 3. I think this might be a problem of uneven random-number generation in the program.
But could it somehow also indicate that the Hi-Lo Count method is not much effective in 8-deck games?
