[borya]

If main count +1 for 3-6, -1 for 10-K. Choises for side count 1.) Ace -1 2, 5 or 7 +1. 2.) Ace -1 2 and 7 +1. What woold be best side count for beting?

You are using the Hi-Opt I system so the side count of aces should already be included. If you want to offset that with another side count you could use A=-1/2=+1. That way you would have the Hi-Opt I for playing decisions and the HiLo for betting decisions. You can get more info here:

Side counts usually aren't worth the trouble. You'll get more value for your time by memorizing more indices with an easier to use system. Are you playing exclusively single and double deck?

I realy want to learn hi-opt I. But i can't use side count aces. So i want simpler side count. I just read about A-2 side count it very nice. But i wonder if A-5 or A-7 side count be beter than a-2?
And what what about side count which make hi-opt in to ko -1 for ace and +1 for 2 and 7?

Just use Hi-Lo, and spend the time you saved learning to side count aces to learn some indices.
