After you run your sim click on the Call on CVCX button at the bottom of the results page

hardNock, Were the TC frequencies the same when you used one hand vs two hands? Your numbers are correct but they are for equal ROUNDS. I would guess the TC frequencies for two hands would be lower so you would need to account for that and adjust the numbers.

You got it.

I can't take credit for the 98 99 100 101 102 stuff. I learned it from Fred Renzy's "Blackjack Bluebook II" and it helped me. To each their own.

You would add 8 to the index numbers since they were created with a 2D IRC of -8 and 6D IRC of -24. But if you leave the IRC numbers at their negative starting points you won't need to memorize different indices other than for 12v5, 12v6, 13v2, 13v3 and insurance.

If you want to start your IRC at 0 you would have to adjust all of the index numbers for 2D or start your IRC at 16. Or you could do what I do for the negative counts. I consider a count of 0 as 100 and if it goes positive, i.e. 101,102,103, I just lop off the 100 and count 1,2,3. Now if the...

Yes. e^[(-2*EV/hand*Bankroll)/(SD per hand^2)]

I start at 100 and if the count is positive I just lop off the 1. Example: 95,96,97,98,99,0,1,2,3,4,5... So a 95 would be -5

I haven't used CVBJ so I can't speak about it. I have CVData and CVCX and would recommend those. I actually use an iPhone app to practice most of the time believe it or not.

I have learned all of the indices except for the really negative ones. I very rarely play below a TC of -8 so I haven't bothered with any below that. If I played double deck I would learn them but I play 6 deck so I am usually "taking a break" when the count tanks. As far as withstanding the...

I have been using it for about 5 months. I have been playing about once a week with pretty good results. Would I have had better or worse results with a simpler count? Who knows? I just like knowing that I'm using a better count and I can use it with no problems.

I use the Mentor Count and I think you are doing extra work when you don't need to. You could do like I do...On your example of RC=12 with 7 decks. Instead of using your formula if you don't want to use the multipliers per BBII, just divide 12 by 3.5 or you can double 12 and divide by 7(24/7)...

Thank you.

I sometimes play with a friend or my girlfriend and I could use my count for betting and playing and they could use the Ten Count for insurance. My count has an IC of .80 while the Ten Count's IC is 1.00 obviously.* Does anyone know how to calculate the increase in EV using the Ten Count for...

I believe it is 57% for 3 hands. I'm not sure for 4.
