The count:

02334320-1-3 0

BC .937
PE.666
IC. 85

Note:This is a unbalanced count of +4

1.Aces would be sidecounted and valued x@ -4 each, to create a balanced count for betting purposes..So TCs could be made.

2.Since Aces are sidecounted, we value them @ +1 EACH, for playing purposes.(Unbalanced)

3. And +1 each for Insurance decisions.(Unbalanced)


BC .997(-4)
PE.678(+1)
IC.87(+1)


So you keep a SC of aces and multiply that number, depending on the situation. For example 5 aces counted x -4 = -20 for betting purposes. Which creates a balanced count...for tc, calculations.(note: this is more accurate than traditional side counting)

Or if you were making a playing decision you would add 4x1=+4 to your count.
which gives a unbalanced point count system of positive 5.

Conclusion: So we have a balanced count for betting, and unbalanced counts for playing and insurance decions.
BETTING0(02334320-1-3-4)
PLAYING+5,(12334320-1-3,0)
INSURANCE+5(12334320-1-3,0)


I knows this seems pretty complex but is it possible to use 1 count for bettimg, but a unbalanced count for playing decions.

It seems counters with both knowledge of unbalanced and balanced counts would be able to pull this off. Any takers?

Not good, you have too much unbalance (13 vs. 17). This makes your count too heavy towards the end of the shoe, even more so than KO does.

If you're interested in a high-performance count for shoe play balanced is the way to go. Of course, I consider this all just theoretical as level 4 counts just aren't worth it. But it's an interesting mathematical exercise, increases understanding of the game.

Also, shouldn't count the 9. zg
