Splitting 6s vs. 2

[Dopple]

This came up the other day so I reviewed the index for the move. In my UAPC system it comes up at +3 so I could have about 2.5 times my min bet out.

I just repeat the number 623 in my head. It stands for split 6 vs. 2 at 3. I think this should work for this index play.

Any further discussion on splitting 6 vs 2 would be welcome.

+3? That sounds very strange for a BS play.

I am not all that familiar with a UAPC. I know it's a level 3 count so I am guessing that would translate to closer to a +1 tc at a level 1 count like hi-lo. Still you are right, I have never seen this as anything but a BS play except on 'no double after split tables'.

It's BS for DAS game

Splitting becomes more favorable with higher count.

For NDAS, +3 sounds good to me..

Thanks NS, I just went down to the car to get my indices because you had me wondering. I mixed up the NDAS with the DAS, my DAS goes -6, -7, and -8 for splitting 6 vs. 2,3 and 4.

I was looking at the wrong index but at least I know this one move a little better now.

I appreciate your help.

But now a question, if BS is the same for DAS and NDAS and people are splitting their 6s vs. 2 at zero counts when they go by BS they are just making the wrong move but since BS does not differentiate bet NDAS and DAS they just have to accept the inaccuracy is guess?

Anyone have a hi lo index number with DAS? I saw -2 somewhere but that must have been NDAS?

Basic strategy DOES differentiate between NDAS and DAS. There is not just ONE basic strategy chart. There's a different chart for EVERY different set of rules.

Your right and I was going too fast, sorry. I just checked the Bs charts on this site and you loose the split and go to hit on 66 vs 2 under NDAS rules.

My bad.

In the 80s and prior to that we used a lot on indices for pair-splits. After Snyder's BBIBJ was
published it was clear that for most pair situations using indices was a mostly wasted effort. zg
