bet spread

[Matt Valerio]

According to wizardofodds.com, casino holds a 0.43% edge when using BS a under the following rules: 6D, dealer stand on soft 17, DAS, double any two cards, resplit to four hands, no resplit of aces, no late surrender and blackjack pays 3-2. Can someone tell me what my minimum bet spread needs to be to eliminate the 0.43% edge using BS (no deviations) and implementing a a Hi-Lo count (2-6 @ -1 and 10-A @ +1)? My base bet for neutral and negative decks is $10. What do I need to bet (at a minimum) at true counts of +1, +2, +3 and +4 or greater to eliminate the casino edge of 0.43?

From the charts in Schlesinger's "Blackjack Attack":

<+2= 1 unit
+2= 2 units
+3= 4 units
+4= 6 units
>+4= 8 units

EV=0.71 units

Using the same spread but wonging in/out at +1 will raise your EV to 1.35 units. The book also has charts for various rule changes, bet spreads and penetration levels.
