At what true count is the player edge enough to start making big bets? I have been playing a two deck game with over 50% penetration. Playing pure basic strat and waiting for a +5 or better true count to make big bets, changing form one 5$ bet to two 50$ bets. Should I make big bets with lower counts? Is this Strat enough to be +EV?
What count is +EV?

1.4 EV Vert HIGH
Yeah I forgot the most important thing. You should start with big bets at +4 counts (this is for typical double deck game).
Your EV for this game as I calculated is about 1.45% and slightly higher (but I like to be conservative), and it is if you spread 1-10 on one hand. This is for typical conditions very very high EV but since you use 1-10 spread, and play game with good rules and OK penetration, that's why your EV is high.
Every time EV is this high I am kind of sceptical, and do not beleive my eyes, but I am 99% sure that this is correct.
Do you get any heat in casino you play, since you use liberal bet spread for double deck game?
Is it promotional double deck game?

No Heat and I was supprised not to recieve any. I simply bet 5$ on one hand and then when i good count came around I changed to two 50$ hands. I am not experienced enough to use strat changes to I played basic strat no matter what the count was. I also took a walk several times on negative decks. I guess I looked like I didnt know what I was doing or the Boss on that shift wasnt looking for counters
As long as you stay at $5 min table you shouldn't get any heat. When you move up to $25 or $100 minimum "they" pay attention to everything. Game you play is excelent to hit with small size team, or solo, at $100 min. tables for some nice profit. In that case, game with that great EV wouldn't last for very long time.
Warning!!!!!!!!!
Be careful with your betting strategy. EV that I gave you is calculated for optimal betting strategy (changing your bets according to count). this means that you would have to adjust your bets for ounts of +1 +2 +3 and so on.
The EV I calculated for you doesn't apply to your betting system!!
