If You Wong In At +1 TC With Hi-lo, And Play Only Basic Strategy, That Is +EV Right?

+1 is the pivot point of hi-lo, so i would imagine that it wouldnt matter if your flat betting and just playing bs because your at a 0% house edge or less (player advantage) at +1.. right?

Not really. If you leave again when the count hits 0, then yes, you'd have a slight advantage.

wait a minute, are you saying that when somebody says "i wong in at +1" that doesnt necessarily mean they wong out when it goes under +1? thats stupid.. if you say "i wong" then that means you only play at positive counts, or at least it should mean that.. yes i only play when the count is positive (altho sometimes i play when the running count is positive also, but none the less im still playing at a positive count even tho i may not have a +ev, i still have an advantage over the original house edge)

To speak for moo...that is what he means. Wonging in and wonging out are two separate acts, but are often used together.

Right. There are two ways to Wong: Wong In and Wong Out. There are many different strategies for doing it. Some people Wong in at a positive count and leave at a certain negative/neutral count. Others start at the beginning of the shoe and leave at a certain negative count (especially if there is no mid shoe entry). Others will only play when they have an advantage. Each style has its benefits and disadvantages.
