Hi Mr. Smith! I will answer some of your questions, or "at least get things started". I am not a BJ expert, BTW, but I have read 3-4 books!
Q.#1: "How does unbalanced count system work?
A.#1: Depends ONLY on INTENT/GOAL:
For example, if your main goal was to win Insurance bets, then an UnBal. system wherein 10's = -2, and all other cards = +1, implies that any TC above +4 indicates that you should take Ins.
Silberstang suggests that for whatever CC system you use, that you should UnBal. same by your relative House disadvantage...for example, if one enters a 6D game, wherein bad rules give you a (-0.5%) disadvantage, thus implying 0.083
% +/- times 6D = 0.5%......thus, start all 6D games at a MINUS-6 RC (or a MINUS-1 TC)...thus, at any TC's above ZERO, you should increase your bet.
But then, the old RED-7, intentionally UnBal., gives one great BE, but piss poor PC, and mediocre IC...why it is so popular, I do not know!
Q.#2: Is the TC calculated the same way?
A.#2: YES!
Q.#3: Is there any significant difference from balanced count system(sic)?
A.#3: See Answer for #1 above. I suggest Schoblete's "Best BJ" so that you may compare various systems.
Everything depends on your INTENT! Winning a few $$$ is a given.
MANY ways are PROVEN...no one is perfect. Flexibility is key to long-term success.
Hope this has helped.
