I often wonder about this one.
Using Zen count, balanced. Playing double deck, no surrender.
Index for standing on 16 is ZERO if dealer has 10.
Index for standing on 16 is +8 if dealer has 9.
What is the mathematical reason for this? At +7 I am more likely to bust than ZERO.
So when true count is +7 why must I take a hit if dealer shows 9, and stand if dealer shows 10?
