I'm just reading "HOW TO BEAT SINGLE DECK BLACKJACK, Version 1.01, 1991, Michael Hall".
He states a playing efficiency of .736 and a betting correlation of .97 for Hi Opt I with a side count of A and 7.
I assume this is for a 1D DAS S17.
Can anybody confirm this?
Is there any more literature on this or Hi Opt I in general apart from WGBBB and this?
Thank you!
Bill Zender's "Card Counting for the Casino Executive" is an amazing resource to have. Not only does he efficiently break down casino detection methods (speaking from years of experience as head of the Aladdin as well as a Gaming Control agent) but in one easy to access chapter lists all strategies and indices for Hi-Opt I against different variations of single deck 21 as well as optimal playcharts of High-Low against multiple deck variations.

Hi,
I did some research with side counts some years ago with John Imming's UBE 7.4. If memory serves Hi-Opt I w/Ace sidecount is .96 BC, not .97. Also, the 7 adds roughly 12-13% to PE. The ace can be adjusted in for playing to give slightly more. The bulk of the gain for ace adjustments for playing comes from hard doubling.
Hope this helps.

Ace, (or anybody ;) what program could generate indices for several sidecounts?
I'm going to buy BJ 6 7 8, but I think it can only manage Aces. Is there any other way to generate/calculate them? (apart from SBA, that I think is overkill for me)
If, as you said, the 7 adds 12-13% to PE maybe it's worth a try.
Thanks!

overkill? this software is the only one that can develop accurate indices for any count. i think it's a must-have for any player. kind of expensive though...
I was trying to be subtle. Okay, it's not overkill, since I could possibly use a lot of it's features, specially the risk-averse indices. However, as you said, $160 is "kind" of expensive. Maybe after a good trip to Vegas...
So there are no other possibilities for sidecounts? Even if they are less accurate?
