Question about some post I was reading recently. It discusses true edge using red seven count.
Is it not true that the 1 percent edge must be compared to the starting advantage of the game you play instead comparing it to the pivot number? I have not the book here right now so I can not look it up ( arnold snyder blackbelt)
If the RC would be here -6 what will lead to -1% than your true edge will be min 1.5% instead of plus? / see example former post... next lines
Anyway, then he goes on to discuss "True Edge" which is found by dividing the RC over the number of decks remaining x 2.
So if the RC was 6 and there were 3 decks left to be dealt out:
(6)/(3x2) =
6/6=
1%
That would give the player a 1% edge over the pivot advantage of 1/2%, giving the player a 1 1/2% advantage over the house.
