Aw geeze, but didn't floating advantage really only become an issue once you get to below one deck left?
Well yeah, but their still are sublte differences with more than 1D remaining.
According to Bryce Carlson, and when using the Ao2 count, with a -.47 disadvantage you should start raising your bets as follows(6 deck game)
6decks remaining> TC 4.5 orRC +27
5decks remaining> TC 4.2 orRC +21
4decks remaining> TC 3.75 orRC +15
3decks remaining> TC 3.66 orRC +11
2decks remaining> TC 3.5 or RC+7
1deck remaining> TC 3 orRC +3
1/2D remaining> TC 2 orRC +1
This is a L2 count, so the discrepency between a level1 would be less. The numbers on the right are the betting indices.Of course theres also another set that goes with the first set. Then theres another, complete double set, for better rules.
So it takes a TC of 4.5 w/6d remaining to equal a TC of 3 w/1d remaining. If I started raising my bets @ TC+3 I would be overbetting up until a reached the point of 1d remaining, or if I waited until TC+4.5 to start raising my bets, I would be underbetting all the time.
Now im no expert, but, what exactly the definition of the floating advantage is, I'm not quite sure. Unless Im mistaken I believe its the reason why a single deck game with a zero HA, is equilevent to -.6 HA, while playing a 6D game, with the same rules.
In other words, you would think, I could start raising my bets @ +3 as long as the rules are the same, regardless of the # of decks in play. But of course this isnt the case, I have to wait until (TC 4.2(RC+21) with 5 decks remaining, before I get the edge.(Not TC+3(RC+15) as one might think) before I start raising my bets.
But if was a single deck game w/ -.47 HA, I could start raising my bets @TC+3
