I'm not sure how your max bet is $300, when you have an 8 to 1 spread at $10 min. A $300 max bet with $5000 bankroll carries a very high ROR. The best thing you can do is to ensure that your play is accurate. Learning more indices will not add much. Neitehr will learning a different...

Can someone explain, in non-mathematical terms, what exactly N0, DI, and CE are? I am still not very clear.

A six deck game with H17 and good pen, is more than beatable, especially with some heavy wonging.

The game with the higher score has a lower limit, and the max bet I can get down allows only for a 50 dollar win rate. The other place is sweatier, and I only want to play one hand at all times to prevent detection as a card counter. It has worse pen as well, which lowers the SCORE further...

But in the long run, wouldn't the one with the lower score be better, if you had a large enough bankroll?

If you play a lousy game with a low score, but bet big enough to have a high win rate, then the risk is greater because there will be a higher Standard Deviation, right? Suppose you were forced to play between one of the two games, and could not make any further adjustements (you couldn't...

Which game would you rather play? 1)Score = 50 Win rate =50 2)Score = 25 Win rate = 80

Pen of only 16% is probably not beatable.

$500 blackjack bankroll is very low. Not worth your time.

I have been counting cards for several years, and have done modestly well, raking in over 100K. However, recently I have hit a very bad streak, and am tired of all the bad things that come with the game: long drive times, heat, angry ploppies, tedious grinding, huge variance and losing streaks...

Actually, you have an amazing game. The key is to wong out at negative counts. Better yet, wong in at positive counts only. EDIT: ENHC is the key here. Without it, I standy by what I said. I'm not sure how this affects the edge.

Get your hands on CVCX. It will tell you your advantage and SCORE for given conditions, or get a copy of blackjack attack.

You may not be as good as you think. You should look into buying Casino verite to practice, and CVCX to do simulations. Without these tools, you are not playing an optimal game, and could be throwing away whatever edge you may think you have. In the end, you need to simply play hundreds...

Absolutely true, Freightman. Mine paid for itself 1000 times over, literally.
