Explaining my question better
Let's say six players are at a table. On the first hand from the shoe, everybody, including the dealer, stands (unlikely, but we're fantasizing). So fourteen cards left the shoe, and let's say none of them was an Ace. We'd expect to see an Ace once every thirteen cards, so we know the shoe is one Ace rich. All things being equal, the shoe has one more Ace than it should have.
My understanding is I should calculate the TC to calculate my bet, then raise my bet three more betting units because advantageous hands (Blackjacks, soft hands for doubling down, splitting Aces) are more likely. But if the odds of getting that extra Ace is only one in seven, is it worth three betting units? Is it worth more if the odds were one in three?
