The "Going Postal at Blackjack" essay proves that the Ten Count in the piece is better than Hi-Lo with simple math. "My Ten Count is an upgrade of Thorp's Ten Count. The non-tens(except aces) are +1, tens are -2. With more tens( plus count ) and aces left, the chances of receiving blackjacks increase. 8's and 9's are side counted for basic strategy deviations. I managed to be barred all over Nevada using my method. Betting with my head, not over it. You can brag to your friends and family about the fear the casinos will have of you if you play perfect. If six 7's, 8's, or 9's and three 2-6's with four face cards are played at a heads up single deck game, we have the advantage. The chance of being dealt a blackjack rises to 6.47% instead of the 4.83% off the top. And we can calculate perfect insurance from a Ten Count that doesn't include aces. The aces are side counted, giving us perfect blackjack frequency prediction and insurance. The hi-lo count is -1 and the eye in the sky will think we are nuts to make a big bet. I employed this method in the 90's at Reno and Lake Tahoe. Played untouched for seven years. The pit and eye thought I was a long term loser. I laughed all the way to the bank."
