Does anyone have the Royal Match count system that was marketed for a short time in the 80s?

Does anyone have the low-down on how to exploit the new 2-6 sidebet that is at 4Queens?

Not the answer you're looking for...

....and you probably know but just in case..... Grosjean has a chapter on RM in Beyond Counting SM

The 4 Q's bet

I think Hi-Lo will work on the 4 Q's bet where you make the bet when the count is very low. Send me the details on the payout and I'll run the numbers.

Yes, he recommends a dual-suit +/- approach...

... that will "identify 50%" of the posi-opps. The 4 suit system would give me more info. I have been making a lot of RM bets lately, just 'eyeballing' the suits and it pretty easy, albeit un precise. zg

Hi Low does work

I wrote a C++ program to simulate the weird 4Q's side bet.

Playing 2 decks with 70 card penetration, using High-Low, make the 4Q's side bet whenever the TC <= -11, and place the full $50 side bet. This will earn you an extra 89 cents per hour (yes, $0.89/hour).

And I tried Match the Dealer

One of my local stores has a Match the Dealer sidebet where you get a bonus for matching the dealer upcard with either of your first two cards. The kick is that you can include your sidebet in the table minimum. $1 on your hand and $9 on the sidebet at a $10 table if you want. So I figured if the count is very low and for some reason you don't want to Wong out, you can move all but $1 to the sidebet and improve your EV. I wrote a Liberty BASIC routine to test it. Turns out, that you don't get there until something like TC<-20 (HO2). Not really worth it. But now I do have a general BJ card dealing routine that will allow me to test other sidebets.
