I have been looking for some answers regarding red seven variations.I play a 8 deck game s17,das,late surrender. I am aware that I should take insurance at +2 or better. My question is with surrendering. Do I still surrender my 16 vs 9,10,A and my 15 vs 10?
Using Red Seven means using almost no departures from Basic Strategy, so you just stick to the Basic Strategy and surrender your 16 vs 9,10,A and your 15 vs 10.
As a Card Counting technique it is meant ONLY for the most casual of players.
I suggest that you switch to a better count such as the ZEN COUNT.

The count system itself has nothing to do with how many departures from Basic Strategy you use. But basic strategy itself does not change depending on what count system you use. Using Red Seven, Hi Lo, Zen, or whatever basic strategy stays the same.
The most casual of players are not even going to learn basic strategy. Your using Red Seven is just fine. If you want to learn a more complex count after a lot of practice, your game will improve.
Basic Stategy should involve decisions such as "never listen to flash".
Hey Two Kids, Flash and others,
You are best advised to listen to anything Math Boy says about this game. Unlike many, he has the experience and a history of giving wise counsel and is one you can trust; believe me. You can expand your BJ awareness by making the time to surf this and other sites and reading from gold mines: archives. NB

Many players use Red-7 as their count. Nothing wrong with the count. Personally, I use KO which is very similiar, and I am anything but a "casual" player. Simplicity in counts is what makes them so appealing and even though they aren't as strong as some counts, they get you the money! Then again, the gain you get with stronger counts may be lost in the added errors you make using them.
To imply a person is wasting their time with Red-7 is ridiculous!
Keeping it simple by using an unbalanced count such as Red-7 or KO, is wise...especially for beginners.

Can somebody please tell me the differnce between the red seven count and the ADVANCED red seven count? Is it just variations in positive counts? If so what are they?
Blackbelt In Blackjack explains all about the Red 7 count. You can order it from Pi Yee Press by clicking the link below.

The book "Blackbelt In Blackjack" deals with the Red Seven count. On pages 61-63, the playing strategy departures are listed. There aren't that many, but there are still departures. Ex. how you play 12, 16 vs. 10, 15. There are even departures for the 1&2 deck games.
Advanced Red Seven contains more playing strategy departures and a more precise method to estimate your advantage. (true edge)
