I have read you should have a 16x spread in 6 deck shoes.
What would be the minimum spread to succeed in a 6d DAS H17 shoe?
I am thinking you could do well with as little as 6x.
Well, attached is my usual spiel for a 6D H17 DAS game from Don's book.
For 4/6, 4.5/6, 5/6, 5.5/6 pen levels, $10K roll, Hi-Lo using I18. For 1-8, 1-12, & 1-16 play-all practical spreads that approximate a "Full-Kelly" roll.
Note, unit rolls vary from 667 units in the better pens to 2000 units in the worse pen levels. All with about same risk.
Note, none are 1-6 spreads but you could fool around with them if you want, especially if you actually use Hi-Lo with I18.
Note, just because it may be "Full-Kelly"ish doesn't mean it's reasonable lol.
To have a risk that makes sense to me, double the unit rolls but I'm not you and it ain't my money.
If back-counting, the world completely changes.
Doesn't mean you will come up with an optimal spread at 1-6 though.
Best is run your own sim for what you do. Or at least Powersim if it fits your counting system etc.
Even then, I wouldn't play 100 hands based on a Powersim sim. I'm a cheap-ass and Psim is free, but, even so, I do realize sometimes one gets what one pays for.
