HO II (and others)
6d, good pen, DAS, LS, 1-20 spread
Hi-Lo, I18, F4:
EV 1.54%
SCORE 60.61
N0 16531
Hi-Opt II, full indices, no Ace side count:
EV 1.66%
SCORE 67.94
N0 14707
Interesting, huh? Hi Opt II is curiously strong even without a sidecount.
I added all the indices to Hi-Lo:
EV 1.64%
SCORE 66.76
N0 14956
HO II again, so I put in Zen `98 full indices:
EV 1.70%
SCORE 64.69
N0 15463
Hmm ... something doesn`t seem right. But Norm`s work is very respected, so what can you do?
KO preferred:
EV 1.48%
SCORE 48.69
N0 20535
Halves I18:
EV 1.60%
SCORE 66.32
N0 15081
Halves, full indices:
EV 1.74%
SCORE 74.77
N0 13397
Well, enough huh? But I still think its good to illustrate that multi-level counts, with more indices ... are SIGNIFICANTLY stronger than simple methods such as KO Preferred.
That said, no one really makes much money from counting (with a few notable exceptions).
Best,
