Hi-Lo Indices

Snyder says in his book that rounding indices has virtually no effect on your overall win/loss. Is this generally an accepted fact?

And if so, for all of you who play hi-lo, have you memorized the rounded indices or the regular ones?

Also, does anybody have the stats on how much indices help you in a shoe game, ie how much advantage do you lose by using none at all and only spreading your bet?

I round slightly but I'll let someone else answer this.

Mostly I use rounded but not exactly hi lo lite.

six deck, about .2, eight deck, about .15 or so

Another question.

I heard that basic strategy and indices were determined by simulation, not by algorithms and equations, is this true?

Basic Strategy was calculated by hand in the 1950's(Four Horsemen)

I don't know if indices can be done that way,but mine are from simulations.

P.D.
