hands does it take to reach the long run? And if you play a strong game how close to the computer sims will you get?
It will tell you "N0" (N-zero) for the particular game, rules, counting system, indices, betting ramp, etc you are using.

This will generate the N0, which is the number of hands it takes for the standard deviation to equal the expected value. In English, that means the number of hands it takes to have a 68% chance of being ahead. To calculate the number of hands it takes for 2 standard deviations (95% chance of being ahead), multiply N0 by 4. If you multiply by 9, it will give 3 standard deviations (99%+ chance).

But I put back counting and don't know if I'll get 1oo hands per hour. Thanks for your help. I put 2 hands so maybe it's accurate.

It includes all the hands you count. In fact, your N0 is reduced by not playing negative hands simply because your variance is lower.

1 SD = 83% chance of being ahead
2 SD = 98% chance of being ahead.
1 SD = 83% chance of being ahead
2 SD = 98% chance of being ahead.
1 SD: 84.13%
2 SD: 97.72%

Greetings Le Vieux Monsieur,
Can I ask you an "odd" question, s'il vous plait? What is the odd for this incident to happen:
1) The Asian dealer had have the bullets on top & the Big Ones underneath 5 times consecutively.
2) HiLO TCs were +9, 7, 6, 4, & 3 respectively (a really skewed case).
3) I was playing head on during a sunrise shift.
4) I was still ahead financially, thanks to the insurance rule of thumb at the >=+3TC.
Yes, the above crazy hands really did happen circa 1996, & I recorded the incident in my tracking system.
While I get your attention here, I like to ask you for another favor. It seems we get a hungry audiences here who love to read some old war stories (i.e., SSR got over 300 hits!). Will you share with us some of your old wonging stories on the Boardwalk, s'il vous plait?
Merci.

I visited and posted the same questions on the freepage of Advantage Player Dot Com. I'll wait for your reply over there. Merci.
