Simple Point Count???

[SPX]

Quick question. . .

From what I understand, Thorp detailed the ten-count in the first edition of Beat the Dealer, and then introduced the Complete Point Count and Simple Point Count in the second edition.

Was the Simple Point Count the same as Hi-Lo, or did Hi-Lo develop out of the Simple Point Count?

The Simple Point Count used the Hi/Lo card tags. The Complete Point Count was the Hi/Lo Count, more thoroughly accessorized.
