Default Spanish 21 BS as -4 Indices?

I've been working on Spanish 21, and I got to thinking... Can I just use the Spanish 21 BS when the TC hits -4? Or is there something I'm missing...

That's pretty much it. In 8 decks. Since that's what you start off with. I don't see how you could be too far wrong anyway.

She does have an index adjustment table for some multi-card holdings.

I think I was unclear in my original post. What I meant was, when I'm playing regular blackjack, and the TC hits -4, can I use the BS for Spanish 21 as my indices?

the REAL question is, if you are playing 6 or 8 deck blackjack, why are you still playing at a TC of -4? you should be long gone! joking aside, i'm not sure of the answer to YOUR question, sorry

14 vs. 4 is stand and 14 vs. 3 is hit, although the index for stand on 14 vs. 3 comes on very quickly once you get into a slight positive count.

Of course, this doesn't apply if your 14 is a 8,6! Or if it's a 4-card 14.

The other valuable hit/stand index is 13 vs. 5.

Curiously, after I posted this, I went and checked with the Wizard of odds. To my Humble Surprise, I was correct! What I coudnt figure out is why 11 vs A was still a BS play.(If I read it correctly) It must do with the fact of DD Rescue? Otherwise I would think, you Could add +4, to all your Hard Doubles for Level 1 Counts, thst is.

Default Check This Out!!

I took the SC of Aces, for A02 and stuck in the main count, such as.............(-21122210-1-2) for a Unbalanced count of -2 so I will end up a Zero and the end of the Deck!!! Its also easy to use and Has an Unpresented OSR of 97.77


Would this Work? Please help.
