Well,
Call me crazy. I've been looking solely at TC results and seeing if there are any differences in patterns of wins/losses versus hands that are 0 or less in TC. I was thinking that there has to be a way to win more money than only betting in relation to the count.
When the count is positive, we all know that we get more BJs, higher winning %, higher pushed hands %, and lower losing %. Cetain winning and losing streaks and other paterns are different than if you play all. How do I know? I personally checked it out. I've reviewed the data. I've been researching this data and seeing how I can increase my advantage.
I wanted to compare my system to the standard system of betting with the true count. So I actually have 2 sets of data. One is for the normal way of betting ie: TC 1 bet $10, TC 2 bet $20, TC 3 bet $30 etc. The other way is my way. My objective was to see if my way was better or worse than if using the standard way of betting.
One thing that is common between my system and the standard system is that we both bet more when the count is 1 or greater.
With that said, this is only based off of total 20k hands which resulted in 5k TC hands. I only bet the minimum when the TC is 0 or negative but bet differently on when the hands are positive.
In order for me to really get an understanding if this little test will hold up, I want to perfom further tests over 25k TC hands which comes from approximately 100,000 total hands played.
I could be waisting my time but this testing has peeked my interest and I want to see what will happen with a lot more hands simulated.
Currently my overal winning percentage on 20k (5K TC) is 2.5%.
Who knows, maybe I'll get taken big time on the next 5k TC hands.
