Strategy Numbers for Hi-Opt I

[Sam Bench]

I count using the simple Hi-Opt I system. I have used this counting system many times and am now very comfortable keeping track of the running count and varying my bets accordingly. I have been playing my hands using basic strategy.

I am now ready to move to the next level and vary how I play my hands based on the count. Where do I get a table of strategy numbers for the Hi-Opt I system? Of course, various tables would be needed for the different games (e.g. DD, No DAS or 8D shoe DAS allowed, etc.)

Thanks in advance.

The Hi-Opt I numbers are in World’s Best BJ Book by Lance Humble. You can also generate your own numbers using a simulator like Casino Verite or an approximation spreadsheet:

There is also a DOS program called BJ-Strat that will do it, but I can't find a link for it right now.

It's the second last link in Zengrifter's "Free Counting Resources On Web"-sticky.

I was over on half.com today...

and searched in Books for 'blackjack'.
When I sorted the results by price I found that you can get
Humble's book "Greatest Blackjack...", which is the source for
Hi-Opt I, for 75 cents plus shipping. (Less than 1 red chip bet)

You might want to consider this option.

The index tables for Hi-Opt I, Hi-Opt II, Red7, Original Zen, '98 Zen, Basic Omega II, AOII, KISS I, II and III, Mentor, Silver Fox, Expert, KO Preferred, KO Full, Original HiLo, '94 HiLo, HiLo-Lite, Halves, REKO and BS tables for Spanish21, SuperFun21 and Double Exposure are in the free downloads of Casino Verite. Hi-Opt I multi-parameter tables are also included. All tables are included with permission of the various authors as I'm a strong supporter of intellectual property rights.

However, I always suggest the purchase of the original books as there are notes on how to use these strategies therein.
