Hi. I'm trying to generate the indexes for the Hi-Lo as they appear in Stanford Wong's Professional Blackjack I've just received. My problem is that the index data generated with CVData differs from the ones in the book.
I'm using CVData entering the exact parameters as defined in the Benchmark Rules in the book. An example follows: Generating the index with CVIndex for the whole line of Table 8, Hard Standing, S17, Player hand=hard 15. Page 43. The book says -5 -6 -7 -7 -9 10 10 etc. I get one unit differences in every of them: -6 -7 -7 -10 11 11 etc. Trying to generate other numbers gives the same kind of errors. I use the Accurate and Beat to Death (or whatever) settings with the same results. I've noticed that between the included strategies in CVData, the 94-Hi Lo has the book numbers, but the
Complete Hi Lo has the same numbers I'm getting from the generator. What I'm doing wrong?. Is Wong's book wrong?. I don't think so. The program?. Maybe Wong used fewer rounds to generate the numbers, as computers where slower when this book was published.
Please, someone enlighten me ;-)
Thank you very much.
