red7 betting

I recently switched from the hi-lo to the red7 mainly because I'll be going to Vegas soon and don't want to learn deck approximations for every game type. Anyway, my only problem is on redesigning my betting scheme. Below is my betting scheme from when I played hi-lo using the TC ($10-100 table, $14,000 BR):

neg or 0 = $10 or $0
+1 = $25
+2 = $25,25
+3 = $50,50
+4 = $75,75
+5 = $100,100

In Snyder's book he recommends this betting scheme:

Neg. = $10 or $0
+2 = $20
+4 = $20
+6 = $20
+8 = $30
+10 = $40
+12 = $80
>+12 = $80

If I used this betting scheme it would definitely lower my ev by quite a bit. I don't know enough about the red7 count though to adjust the betting scheme to mirror my betting from hi-lo, can anyone offer some suggestions as to a new betting scheme?

I orginally thought that since a count of -1 in the Red7 is equivalent to a TC +1 in Hi-lo I could bet as follows in the red7:

-2< = $10 or $0
-1 = $25
0 = $25,25
+1 = $50,50
+2 = $75,75
+3 = $100,100

But I have a feeling I'm way out on this idea. Some help please!?
