I suppose. But how about this idea instead- balanced has a lot of advantages for shoe games, and by changing one tag from UBZ you get a balanced count of Zen, Mentor or RPC as you prefer.zengrifter said:
I do not understand your preference of UB'd counts for pitch games? zgAutomatic Monkey said:
There's a couple of reasons. First is that deck estimation on pitch games is difficult. The way the dealer holds the cards can be deceptive, and also you are peeking to left and/or right, and counting cards as they are dealt face-up, and you have to take this all into account in your true count divisor too. If you are using an unbalanced system, you just count the cards as you see them and that's that. The other reason is that pen on pitch games isn't that good, the best pen you'll ever see is 75% and that's the worst pen you should ever play a shoe game at. So you don't get as far away from the pivot point as you can in a shoe game.zengrifter said:

Assumed was: 4.5/6, S17, DAS, DOA, LS,SPL4, SPLA1 spread 1-12 (ramp see previous page), 100hands/hour, 3 other players, 2 Billion rounds, with the following indices:
Code:[U]irc RC: -12 RC: -6 Pivot RC: +6 RC: +10 RC:+12[/U] 12 v. 5 16 v.10 13 v. 3 12 v. 3 12 v. 2 X,X v. 5 16 v. 9 12 v. 6 12 v. 4 8 v. 6 15 v.10 X,X v. 6 13 v. 2 9 v. 2 surrender 8 v. 5 11 v.

and the wongin and -out points according Mimosine’s table:
1. play-all SCORE 33.59
2. deck-adjusted UBZ SCORE 44.53
Special thanks to Norm!
To the first questions, YES.DB1 said:
Yes, stand when TC equals index or higher. 16v10 for example you stand at 0 or +1. zgDB1 said:
No one should use it UNTIL its complete per bold, finish it. zgMimosine said:
I've been using it since last summer, but have only applied it in the casino once a couple of weeks ago. It went pretty well. I'm using the composite index UBZ posted a page or so above, not the DD or six deck specific indices.
Do we have the single composite index - any# decks? zgMimosine said:
Classic! Get with Jack Jackson. zgKnox said:
Wait until IM done with my level 19 count. This ones gonna be a dandy!zengrifter said:
Thats nothin - Knox just came up with a heavily inverted imbl'd level-2 - the RC falls rather than rises - its a radical new counting paradigm.jack said:Wait until IM done with my level 19 count. This ones gonna be a dandy!
