Point Value Comparison
Thorp Ten-Count : +4 for card A thru 9, -9 for 10 thru. K
Foret Lanyang Ten-Count 0 for A thru 9, -1 for 10 thru K.
Both techniques obtained precisely the same result. Both got their 100% IC. But if you use Thorp's Ten-Count, your running count will be running up 4 or be running down 9 anytime the dealer slaps down a card. But if you uses Foret Lanyang's Ten-Count instead, your running will be running like 1 2 3 4 5 . . . . all the time.
