Six Deck Wonging Betting Strategy

I used to play $100-600/hand in double deck games which have now become extinct and/or are too closely watched. I now intend to play six decks with the same spread with Wonging, but am not sure which approach is best. I am assuming S17, DAS, LS, 75% dealt, three other players. If I enter at +1 and leave at -1 true counts, and spread 1-6 with the true count, I get a win rate of $115-120/hr. (depending on which software I use). However, if I enter at the start of a shuffle and leave at -1, with CVData, I get a win rate of approximately $200/hr., which does not seem reconcilable with entering at +1. I would think that the win rates should be about the same, but they probably differ due to the number of hands played per hour. I was wondering if anyone has any practical/theoretical advice about which approach, or if some other approach, is best for playing the above game with a $100-600 spread.

to try this approach myself at certain times for 6 deck games and came to the conclusion playing off the top and leaving at -1 would cause the least hassles. A fast ramp up beginning at +1 and all in at +2 will be the approach I will use.

A couple of thoughts...most not orginal as they are addressed in BlackJack Attack by Schlessinger (see Chapters 10 & 11 of 2nd edition).

The start off the top, wong out at -1 is good strategy, referred to in Chapter 11 as the White Rabbit approach. Per Schlessinger, it is not as strong as the enter at +1 approach, but the difference is not significant.

With the White Rabbit approach, you avoid the problem of mid-shoe entry, and often casino's do not allow that or limit you bet spread. For example, the game you descibe fits the conditions of the Las Vegas MGM Grand 6 deck game (10 minimum with $1000 max?)and I believe the MGM Grand limits mid-shoe entry to a max bet of $300. Thus your plan to spread $100-$600 would not work. Another benefit with the White Rabbit approach is that you do not have to stand around backcounting while trying to remain un-noticed by the pit crew. You can just line it up and go...and maybe have more fun. You certainly will play more that way, as with back counting you will have to miss about 2/3's or more of the hands (can offset that somewhat by counting more than one table at a time).

Take the White Rabbit approach. Good luck!
