Optimum Bet Chart

True Count	Advantage	% Optimum Bet
-1 or lower	-1.00% or more	0%
0	-0.50%	0%
1	0%	0%
2	0.5%x76%	.38%
3	1.0%x76%	.76%
4	1.5%x76%	1.14%
5	2.0%x76%	1.52%
6	2.5%x76%	1.90%

By using this table, you can determine the optimal bet for any bankroll; just multiply the figure in the last column by the amount of the bankroll. Thus, for a bankroll of $3000, the optimal bet for a true count of 2 is .0038 X $3000 = $11.40.

With a $3000 bankroll, a betting schedule could look like this:

True Count	Player's Bet	Optimum Bet
0 or lower	$5	$0
1	$5	$0
2	$10	$11.40
3	$20	$22.80
4	$40	$34.20
5	$50	$45.60
6	$60	$57.00
