That makes sense. I don't really know how much advantage is gained by changing one's IE from 79%(HL) to 100% - that was the whole point of this post. Does it really amount to a few tenths of a percent? Have people run simulations to see what the gain in edge is with an increase of 21% IE? If so...

Thanks for the replies so far. I'm disappointed to hear that there really hasn't been a simulation for this done. I think it would be interesting to know just what kind of edge a player could get if he could sit down at a BJ table with a program on his laptop running different counts - 100% BE...

Why would a PE of 100% be impossible? Here's a quote from the website: "Although I called the "playing" count an 'optimal' system, it's really only the optimum for a single-parameter count. Don't confuse 'parameter' with 'level', however. A single-level count uses point values of 1, 0 or -1...

I was reading earlier and came across the (supposed) best systems for PE, BE, and IE. I was wondering what kinda of total advantage increase would be gained if, hypothetically, one could play each of those systems at the same time. For BE the source named Thorp's Ultimate Point Count which...

Yeah, I figured I had to have been off by a decimal or so because that was insane. It's odd... Out of the few Black Jack books I have read and the vast amount I have read on the internet, everyone talks about betting spreads and never mentions flat betting. Yet it seems to offer better...

Thanks for your replies, they are greatly appreciated. Although I was almost sure such a win rate with only $50 bets was impossible, it is what the author claimed the simulation gave him. You can find the article here: http://www.gamemasteronline.com/Archive/Blackjack/BeatingThe8-DeckGame.shtml...

This is my first post on the forums even though I have been lurking around and reading for the past few weeks. I have learned a lot from everyone on this board and I'm hoping you all can help me out with a few questions. I was reading the article on beating an 8deck game at...
