EV Calculation

I'm just wondering in theory, how much would the use of indexes alone reduce the house advantage. So could someone please tell me how much the HA would be reduced under the following scenario:

HA: 0.26
Rules: 6D, S17, DS, RSA, LA
Counting System: KO Full (similar to the Illustrious 18)
Spread: Flat Bet

Thanks in advance!:grin:

i think you meant DAS, and LS instead of DS or LA

Will drop the house edge but 0.1% at best, but it also depends on the penetration, could get better than that if it was very deeply dealt.

Sorry, I forgot to mention the pen of 1.2--can you tell me what that would lower the HA to please?

Best regards,

1.2 Decks is just an average penetration, when say very deep penetration i mean less than 0.5 decks, so the house edge will only decrease by 0.1%. Without spreading your bets it is practically impossible to beat a shoe game flat betting, unless the casino some super juicy rule and/or you are using some other playing strategies not just based on the information obtained from the remaining shoe composition.

ICountNTrack: just curious, what spread would technically get the aforementioned game just to the break even point?

Secondly, I'm presuming CVCX is the best program to answer all these questions (anyone is free to answer this with the exception of N.W. :grin?

Thanks again,

FD
