Counting in Double Attack BJ
I was wondering in Double Attack BJ if it would be advantageous to count strictly for double-down purposes. Since there are already 32 tens removed from the 8 decks, it seems impossible for any normal counting scheme to work. For example, using KO, one would not only have to wait for the count to go plus 16 from the IRC, but also for the count to go another plus 32 to make up for the missing tens. It seems like this would rarely if ever happen. But...is there a point where it might be advantageous to double down on say, a hard 15, if the count were negative enough? Does anyone know how to figure out what that point would be?
I mention this because when my friend played at AC this week, every time he doubled down on something like a hard 15, the dealer called the pit boss and claimed my friend was counting. Actually, he was counting high cards and when he estimated that the deck was rich enough in low cards, he doubled down on some pretty tough points. I think he was just lucky, but that gave me the idea that it there might just be a possible scientific approach to tell you when to double down and on what. Also, it might tell you when NOT to double down on a ten or eleven; ie, mostly small cards remain in the deck.
