Was probably just good luck.

well nice job jack-theghostrider-jackson! :1st:
looks like i've got about 2,340 more hands to play or so. i might need to borrow some of your $2,275.00 to do it lol.
but maybe i'll have a beautiful run. i hope so. after all from my logs it looks to me i was betting as prescribed on the proper TC's and all. but i guess i'll need some help from some sweet standard deviation to catch you or even get back even.
Awww maaan, Thank you, what a wild ride. It was a gratifying experience. Its taken alot of practice through the years.
On shoe # 270, My Goal was just to be at 1,000. By shoe# 280, I was around 1200-1300 and was very reluctant to bet Maxbets when called for, In fear of Losing my goal of 1,000. Not one to chicken out, I reluctantly keep playing it by the book. I just kept pushing them out there when called for. And W
W, Im glad I did.
At the half-way mark,(#150,(5/10) I tried Modifying my betting strategy into a more conservative approach:
My Betting Indices(Subsitution,for TC method)
(Discard Tray)

_____________Empty
First RC Index(Bet=25$)
Second RC Index(Bet=25x25)
Note: I would only go to 25$ bet first, even if the RC went to second Index
Say theirs 2 decks in the Discard tray and my RC is +15(Bet25$)WIN or LOSE this then jump to 25x25 provided second index or higher.
Then Provided I WON the 25x25 and the RC was the second index or higher, I would then bet 50x50
Win or lose 50x50, stick with it provided second index or higher.
____________________________________________________________
By shoe# 240,(8/10) I really wasnt getting anywhere and Decided to go back to the way I was doing it for the first 1/2 of the contest. Which everythings the same, except the 25$ bet, is replaced by 50$ and of course the 25x25 is replaced by (50x50)
Only this time, Insted of the traditional Ace side-count for the A02(I might add, doesnt work very well for shoe games. Could be a cumulative effect, not sure) I Broke out the A-2vs3,5+1 to convert the A02 into wong-halves for betting(1223210-1-2-2)
Note: Used this secondary before.
Unconcerned how much the added points might affect the Ao2 strategy, if at all. I gave it a whirl. Low and Behold it just seemed to click. It was working quite well.
But Hold the phone sage. This isnt all. I also used the secondary count, not only to enhance my betting, but my play of hand as well. Think Ive been in the sun to long??? Check it out:
Plug the A02 count into the main count. And plug in A-2 vs 3,5+1 Into the secondary, then view the multiparamet table, BELOW the Index chart.
You will see Doubling A6-A9, 7-10,(ExceptXvsX(5points each) And Hitting 13,14,15,16, vs X,A are all virtually Double Secondary value. Easy enough.
http://www.bjmath.com/bjmath/tcindex/tcindex.htm (Archive copy)See:99vs7
For example, if my hand was A9vs5, and my secondary count was +5, I would ADD + 10 to my RC.
For Stiffs vs Bust its just single Value(Just add or subtract)The secondary to the running count.
And for every 1 Positive Point in the secondary, subtract one for Doubling A2-A5. Likewise Add if your negative in the secondary.
When I Implemented this, I was a little slow at first, but quickly gained speed as the shoes went by.
A02=1122210-1-2
Note: I count each A,3,5 as soon as theyre see. This is very tricky, Because I count them in pairs, in the main count. For example, My hand(3) =(0/+1)
Dealer(X)=(-2/+1) My Hand(Ace on top the 3(3,A)=(-1/-1)
After some experimentation I feel this is the best way.
Note: Iactually start the secondary @(0/50) to eliminate the 2 counts from mixing together to counts. +48= -2
I actually thought about keeping it @ Zero and using letters, In lieu of the just the negative #s (G=-7,K=-11,A=-1etc...) This would take a little practice.
Anyway where was I..............................

?????????????:joker: .........Oh ya. After Slowy Integrating all this crazy **** into the strategy, I put it in 6th gear and said fughedaboutit.
Ps. Could you manipulate your results, with CVBJ????
Get back to your post tommorrow Kasi:sleep: Good nite
