Default Can someone tell me if this is worthwhile?

Can someone tell me if this is a worthwhile strategy or just a waste of time?

6deck,H17,DAS,LS, avg 80%pen
$5@ +1 or lower
$10 @+2
$15 @+3
$20 @+4
$25 @+5
$30 @+6 or higher

Count hi-lo with 80 BS variations, play through all counts
Maybe 80 hands/hour

I know the 2 problems- small spread and no wonging, but there's only
one shoe table at this casino and I'm there once/week cause it's the only
one close to home.

Any comments?

Thanks.

thats basically the same thing I do at my casino, except that I play at a minimum $3 table if I can, do you have the list of your index plays though?

I have a few but haven't been able to find any online for those specific rules:

6deck, 80%pen, DA2, DAS, H17, no surrender

your losing roughly $5 bucks an hour on this game(the conditions for the game are pretty good, and you say you know complete hi-lo with full indexes? But if you aren't going to wong it on a 6 decker, you need to use a much larger spread).

UPDATE: Actually no. I was bored and decided to do the calculations myself, if you follow the complete hi-lo system using full indexes (fab4 too of course) to perfection, you'd be making precisely $1.74 an hour :P

without wonging is this betting strategy still a losing strategy?

TC -x -> 1 = $3
TC 2 = $6
TC 3 = $6 + $6
TC 4 = $12 + $12
TC 5 = $15 + $15
TC 6 = $20 + $20

sometimes I can't play 2 hands so I just bet 1.5 times what I would with 2 hands.

Also what program are you running these sims in? Or if you could let me know an optimal betting strategy that would be awesome, thanks!

(sorry if this takes away from the original post)

I use the CVCX online simulator, go to www.qfit.com, it's one of his products.

Unless that's a one deck or two deck game with monstrously good rules, you're prolly making almost the same $$$/hr the above guy is making.

by making do you mean losing?

I stated the rules in my first post here:

6D, DA2, DAS, No surrender, H17..

maybe I'll buy that product, but in the meantime if someone knows an optimal betting strategy that would be awesome, and thanks for any help!
