Ok, I like a balanced count because I shuffle track. I like a count with an A side count, I find that many times the knowledge of additional aces or lack thereof is beneficial to me in more than just betting analysis. I find it no more difficult adding -3 and +2 than in adding 1 + 1. The higher count numbers give a wider range in which playing/betting decisions can be placed and therefore more accuracy if you don't want to deal with fractional count indices.I know all the cards in a single deck by a name cash, Suit, Core etc each of these names tells me the suit and value of the card. I can play a deck of blackjack at home then turn off all the lights and lay quietly on my bed in a dead quiet room and tell you the suit, index, order and outcome of every hand I had played. Halfway through a deck I can tell you value and suit of all the cards played and all the remaining cards. How many 2's 3's 4's etc. there are still left. I have ordered the theory of blackjack and am going to be using the statistics in it to write a simple algorithm that calculates the proper decision from all this known information. I plan on using the mathematics used to seperate a signal from the surrounding white noise on the same channel. Maybe it will work and maybe it won't if it doesn't then you and Don S are right and very little can be gained by exponential increases in the signal density. Maybe I am right and the problem thus far has been that the signal desity has not reached a critical value that would allow us to seperate it from its Alias.
Only time will tell. If it does not work I will just take an alternate approach, I have no illusions that being the number one advantage player in the world is going to be an easy task or be done with the current technology. If this post has completely bored you let me do a few limmericks to pay you back for your trouble of reading it.
1) In days of old when Knights were bold
and the women were not so Particular
they would line them all, against the wall
and " kiss " them perpendicular.
2) There once was a man who was alive
Who is not that way anymore
Cause' what he thought was H20
Was H2SO4
Hopefully your friend,
