Re: UBZ2

www.rge21.com <---they sell it... I ordered it and I really like it. Though it's a level-2 count, I don't need to convert to TC, which saves a lot of energy, more than makes up for counting 2's. You can also do a search for UBZ, unbalanced zen, UBZII coupled with the would "count" or "blackjack" or "George C" and it should hit. I think the book is a little lacking on a few indices (he only gives you about 20), and you'll need to find somewhere (a lot of places have it) that has basic strategy for the prospective games you want. I suggest you buy CVCX or SBA to run some sims and get some more indices as well as the BS for the rules and decks you play.

Re: UBZ2

The only thing I can find by GC is here:

(Dead link: http://rge21.safeshopper.com/3/1.htm)?

40 pages, 40 beans.

I am not sure if it includes UBZII or not. I can take a look at SBA tonight and see if it is in the list of counts and fire off a sim for you if you wish. 1 2 6 or 8 deck?

Re: UBZ2 THE IRONY

The ironic-beauty of UBZ is that it requires neither TCadjusts nor Ace-betting adjusts, yet compared to AO2 or HO2 users that only deploy top20 or so i#s and the rudimentry Ace adjusts, UBZ will perform on par with those typical of practioers of those systems - so UBZ2 is a SMARTER choice than ZEN even for a novice. And, UBZ can be evolved upwards with an increase of i#s, TCadjust, and even side-counts - the resultant 'TUBZ' is a hybrid unbalanced/TC'd system with a higher SCORE than ZEN.

I recommend that interested parties purchase UBZ directly from its author GeoC - [email protected] , or from gamblersboockclub.com (you may need to email them.

Cyrano, can you create a simple conversion for us whereby us ZEN users can understand the the corellation between the 2 systems counts? zg

Re: UBZ2 THE IRONY

**I'm not sure I quite understand what do you mean by "simple conversion". Like, the Pivot point for the UBZ vs. the pivot for Zen? Please explain.

**Currently, I'm running sims on rounding the matrix numbers (per George C. in the intro) so instead of learning 50 different numbers for deviation of BS, I only need 3-4 (grouped sets are so much easier to remember)--SD and DD games.

Re: UBZ2 THE IRONY

I'm not sure how accurate this would be, since we're comparing a TC to a RC. Because of this, I decided to sim SD, since that's probably the closest.

On 20M Hands: SD no DAS, D/10-11

UBZ Zen
Count Edge Edge
-3 -1.67 -1.26
-2 -1.50 -0.81
-1 -1.05 -0.63
0 -0.45 -0.29
1 -0.22 0.24
2 0.12 0.50
3 0.69 0.86
4 0.92 1.33
5 1.32 1.72
6 1.82 1.92
7 2.21 2.42

It's similar... UBZ's edge per each count is slightly lower though, for UBZ, you play more hands at various counts, where ZEN plays more hands near the O.
