Hello,
Is there a formula I can use to calculate the players advantage
(theoretical win) if I know the true count and the dealers up card?
Any input would be very helpful,
Thanks,

I look up expected values (ev)in the tables in the back of Wong's "Professional Blackjack".
Take the % advantage you expect with your TC and multiply it by the % advantage or disadvantage the dealer's up card creates. Probably not precice enough for what you are trying to calulate.
Upward for positive counts, downward for negative counts.

You ADD the two percentages. Although this is probably not correct at all. You would probably need to run a sim to get a good answer.

would need a sim for sure, or the math for the sim. Say player 3,5 v dealer 10 up with a TC of +3. Your posi EV has been cut by the expectation of what you will end up with and what the dealer has in the hole. By exactly how much? I often wonder why people ask these questions, and how long they are interested in finding the answer. By the time MathProf or Alienated work it out, they are on to something else like bees switching flowers.
