I use UBZII in running count mode for pitch games, but I true count it for betting purposes (strategy decisions still made by running count with the exception of insurance, 16 v. 10, and maybe one or two more of the biggies) in shoes. I really like using it in RC mode in pitch games, and I don't want to have two sets of indices in my head, so I use the 25 composite indices form the UBZ OS thread:

I've always assumed that I'm not giving up much by not using TC indices in the shoes since the indices aren't nearly as important to begin with in shoe games, but how much EV is it really costing me?
Also, if you true count an unbalanced count, is your true count as accurate as it would be in a balanced count?
Finally, I want to be sure I'm using the right indices in TC mode. I believe you can use Zen indices for true counted UBZ (TUBZ). In TUBZ my IRC is -4 x # decks, so your initial true count is -4. Therefore, I should be able to subtract 4 form Zen indices and use them for TUBZ (i.e. insure at +1 instead of +5, stand on 16 v. 10 at -4 instead of 0, etc.) Is this correct?
Thanks for any help you can give!
