Pos/Neg/Neut counts

[eps6724]

These might be stupid questions, but I'm gonna ask 'em anyway...in
"Blackbetl" the terms of positive, negative and neutral counts are mentioned. Using red seven, can I assume that the 'neutral' is the count BETWEEN the starting count and the pivot?

Also-can someone explain how the math works as far as working through the neutral count? That is-wtih an average game starting with the house half-percent advantage, and then with the pivot point showing (app.) a half-
percent player advantage, what of the count between start and pivot- and
why?

And finally (obviously I'm new at this so I'm still trying to learn!!) is there a point that one just says-no more? (In reference to units lost during a single sitting) or just try to ride the flux out?

Thanks!

Eric

i'm not proficient with red7 but have read about it. since you have Snyder's Blackbelt In Blackjack i believe you may find it helpful to read or re-read The Advanced Red Seven "True Edge" section of chapter 5 page #64.

as far as when to exit (wonging out) you don't go by units lost during a single sitting but by if your count indicates that the pack remaining to be dealt is advantageous or disadvantageous.
this decision is usually made for a six deck game when two decks have been dealt.

One way to look at it...

I use KO, which is unbalanced by 4 per deck. If, for example, after one deck has been dealt, the count has risen by 4, I consider that neutral. If the count has risen by more than 4, I figure things are going the right direction. If the count hasn't risen, or has dropped, I call that negative.
