One reason why I had this question was that when I simulated this index using CVData and a toy high-level counting system, I got conflict results. When I used the original counting system, I got an index to split when TC > -4.1 (this number has been converted so that you could somehow think of...

Thank you. This is useful information, which seems to suggest it is unclear when to split 3,3 vs 8 (or at least hit may not always be the appropriate play). On the othre hand, I think tthree's reply was very insightful. Whether DAS makes a difference should depend on the remaining #'s (or...

So you mean practically just hit 3,3 vs 8 in the above game?

What is the index for splitting 3,3 vs 8 using hi-lo in DD, H17, DA2, DAS game? Thanks!

Another question: In your CVData, there's an option to check namely "half point supported". Does this say that if I have a counting strategy that involves half points, such as 2.5, I should check that option in generating indexes? Thanks.

This helps a lot! BTW, what's the interpretation of the indexes generated based on the strategy WITH indexes (the so-called additional indexes)?

My counting strategy is balanced. Are you saying to generate consistent indexes, I should not use a playing strategy with indexes included? That's probably where my problem was because I was using a previously generated playing strategy with indexes in it.

I ran index generations using a counting strategy in which each value of card is specified as half of my original one. However, I got indexes that to me were pretty inconsistent with my previous results (I assume the new indexes should be roughly half of the orginal one, assuming true count...

The index range was narrower than the possible one in my generation. But I realized that's not really an issue since I could always trick your program to generate the indexes using a proportional (fractional) definition of the values in my counting strategy.

Thanks! If I can't set the index range for generation, what is the default range then? Is the default the same regardless of the level of the counting system?

Two other questions re: index generation using your CVData: 1) Where can I set the index range, which is dependent on the level of a user-defined counting strategy? 2) I had a little difficulty finding out how to specify composite dependent index generation settings? For example, what does each...

For a user-defined counting strategy, your CVData calculate the true count by dividing the raw count by the # of decks left, correct? As a result, if this counting strategy is of high level, the magnitude of the true count indexes will be increased correspondingly, correct? Thanks!

Thanks for your quick reply! I found it already after my post (long time no touch and forgot about it)... Thanks.

BTW, where can I input my counting strategy before running simulations to generate indexes using your CVData? Thanks!

Is this event only by private invitation? Can I simply attend the event by watching you guys play?

Sorry about my dumbness, what lucrative opportunity might there be?

I wanted to make sure that I understood the concept of true count correctly. It is comparable using the same strategy across games of different decks, but it's not so across strategies, correct, if the level across strategies is different? In other words, true count really should be interpreted...

Another potential gain you might have is on insurance, even compared with the so-called "perfect" counting system for insurance, i.e., the one that counts the 10 cards as 4 and the rest as 9. However, the gain may still be quite small (but I don't know), and since you don't know when the dealer...

I think a betting strategy depends on how much advantage you'll gain. And you won't gain extra advantage compared to a current counting system if memorzing exact cards played doesn't improve your playing strategy over the counting system. I believe you could gain advantage in both betting and...
