6 DECK UK BLACKJACK

I see that the thread has had views but no replies. I would be grateful from ay response from profitable blackjack players in the UK. I'm familiar with Hi Opt I and Omega II, but most of the books I've read seem to indicate that it is not worth trying to beat the 6 deck game.
Well, if you could get away with a large spread bet, what is the best count to use for 6 deck blackjack? And how big should the bet be according to the true count?
A strategy I have come across is to count the number of As and 10s in 2 decks dealt of the top, and the sit in and play to the end of the shoe if this is less than 36. Has anybody used this in practice?
Thanks in advance for any replies.

This would give you 4 extra Tens in the remaining 4 decks. This would effectively be a "wonging" in and you could possibly have an advantage. Not knowing the rules or initial house advantage it is hard to say if this would actually have gained you an advantage.
Of course to maintain this advantage you would have to "wong out" when your ten (&ace) count goes back to even (20 per deck) or increases above this.
Wonging can be one of the more effective ways of beating a 6 deck game. The whole premise would be to only bet when you can get an edge and exit when you don't. This does result in a lot of backcounting the tables and minimal playing time.

Don't listen to them, you can beat any BJ game with a strong enough spread. Not all games are going to be as profitable as downtown LV SD games, you have to work with the games you have available.
I'd recommend Hi-Opt II with the Ace sidecount as the best system to beat any BJ game. If you don't want to use a level 2 count and a sidecount, use plain old High-Low and tailor your playing indexes to be risk averse, i.e., don't put at risk an extra 100 pound bet for an expected 10 penny additional profit. The High-Low is almost as good as Hi-Opt II for shoe games but a few times a year I have a SD or DD game to play and I wanted to learn one system that will be very powerful in any situation.
Mind you that when reading American BJ books you guys have that no-hole-card rule over there, so you will never be doubling or splitting against aces and I don't believe you ever do against a 10 either.
The advice you got about Wonging is good, Wong in if you can, and definitely Wong out on bad counts. Also look around for dealers giving good penetration (no not that you pervert) because it can vary from dealer to dealer and a 6D game with 1D or better pen is very playable. Do you have any surrender options in the UK?
