Hi-Opt II question

[The Mayor]

For insurance, it varies by the number of decks -- so make sure you are matching the numbers for the same game.

As for being off by 1 -- it absolutely DOES NOT MATTER who is right and who is wrong. Choose a set of hi-opt II's from any source and learn them for the game you want to play most often.

My numbers were created by SBA v5.0. I'm not sure how Humble got his. They were probably spun out by Einstein on a pocket calculator. I trust SBA so I used those #'s. 2001 publishers should use 2001 calcs. Mayor is right. BE tops out at 70%. Each index is also a composite of cards played, so even if you use the SBA #'s you are ball parking your play departures. PE tops out at 100%. Getting your $$ on the felt at the right time is the most important thing about counting.

What is most important is the game you play and the penetration.

I think you got your BEs and PEs mixed up.

"I think you got your BEs and PEs mixed up."

Yes! A slip of the finger.

And all Thorp's people said??

"Amen!"

I like how Bryce Carlson takes these numbers, tosses in the 10 count then boils them down to the numbers that compose his O II and AO II systems.
