More Wongery: EV of a 0-1 spread?

[halcyon1234]

I've been pondering this one for a while, and wanted to see if I have it right.

I backcount. I wong in when the TC is +2 or higher (which would be a .5% advantage in a good game, or a break-even on a crappy game like H17 no-hole-card). I wong out if it ever dips below TC +2.

Every time I bet, I "flat bet" my big bet.

Since I'm only ever playing advantage shoes, am I playing an EV game with a 0 (TC < ) to 1 (TC => 2) spread?

Yes. Even flat betting will give you an advantage with that kind of aggressive backcounting.

Although I’ve noticed that different people have different definitions of what a “unit” is. I suppose it’s just a case of semantics since it really doesn’t affect the EV at all, but some people might not think of that as a 0-1 spread.
