The Thorp "Ultimate" count (tag values for 2 through Ace: 5, 6, 8, 11, 6, 4, 0, -3, 7, -9) is a level 11 count with a betting correlation of 1.00. Good luck!
Or is there a side-count of aces?
Thanks, i hear people dont usually use this count. Why dont they if its so good? Is it because of the difficutly?
HiLo has 0.97 betting effiency and is a lot easier.
System with 0.99 betting efficiencies are: Revere Point Count, Uston SS, and Wong Halves.

You saw ten tags - one each for 2s, 3s, 4s, 5s, 6s, 7s, 8s, 9s, Tens and Aces in that order. The level of a count system is equal to the largest tag (absolute) value. Thorp Ultimate's largest tag value is +11 (for the 5), so it is a level 11 count. The popular Hi-Lo and KO systems are level 1.
My response was somewhat tongue-in-cheek. Even the most dedicated experts have had trouble with Thorp's Ultimate:
"I tried Thorp's Ultimate... for a few days, but found it exhausting; after using it for an hour, I was too tired to keep playing." - Stanford Wong
Thorp's Ultimate is a "brute force" approach to counting. It's possible to acheive similar results with less effort if you use brain rather than brawn. Most beginners should start with a level 1 count with good betting efficiency (such as Hi-Lo or KO).
