counting tags

[kewljason]

recently saw a level 2 counting system with unusual tags that got me wondering. 2-7 = +1, X = -1, A = -2. Oviously the ace is overvalued, and the small cards are all counted the same as in a level 1. But since a good portion of the counters edge comes from more blackjacks received at higher counts, it got me wondering just what the betting corelation would be with this system?

Some notable systems like that and the earliest Revere advanced counts over-weighted the Ace. Eventually - early80s - thanks to Snyder, among others, UNDERVALUING the Ace ala ZEN proved to be more viable. zg

I concur but what about for Spanish 21?
