I recently purchased a book called "Get The Edge At Blackjack" by John May in which the author states that his Lima Count has an 88% playing efficiency. He leaves the count out of the book stating that betting is more important in the modern game. For someone who chooses to flat bet at a single deck game, PE would be more important so does anyone know if the Lima count really is 88%?, and where do you get the indices from?
Nat,
This question has arisen before. The following is a quote from the system's developer:
The PE & BC figures got reversed in the typesetting process. Lima still has the strongest PE of any level-1 system, however I didn't attempt to develop the system because that really isn't very important in the modern game.
Sorry to disillusion you, but 88% PE from a level-one system is just too good to be true. Click the link below to see a comparison of several count systems. As you'll see, even level-3 systems don't achieve a PE of 70%.

fwiw: I'm not sure where it came from, but I have jotted a note in my copy that says "For errata list, e-mail John May at 'sys381@yahoo.com'".
Is the first tick ( ' ) included in the addy?
There's a possible error/typo that needs clarification.

No, the first tick is not in the address.
I'm quite sure the tags for the Mentor count are wrong, but I don't know what they should be. I think there is an error in the Ita tags also.
Link for Mentor tags below...
Email sent for errata list, if available.
