Counting Spanish 21

Is it possible to count cards at spanish 21 and get an advantage? I understand that there are just face cards and no 10s in the deck. However for instance couldn't one modify the high-low count by making 9's a -1 instead of 0. Certainly this wouldn't be as great since there is less busting and less naturals, but would the difference still make the game "unbeatable" by counting standards?

Sp21 can be counted. Schoblete, in his book "Armada Strategies" uses the Hi-Lo that you suggest. However, you correctly note that there are no 10's in the decks...there still are J's, Q's, and K's. Schoblete records an overall advantage of 0.52%. However, this game is likely best used, as the above author suggests, for cover and comps.

There is excellent info. on Sp21 over on BJ21...if I get time later today, I will try to find the post, and do an addendum.
