I am pressed for time so this post is going to be a little bit incomplete from the way I originally envisioned it but I feel I must get it down lest I forget what I want to say and get some feedback on.
My main goal is to ultimately use a counting strategy which the average person is capable of employing which also has a betting correlation
of 99.9 percent, a playing efficiency of 99.9 percent and a perfect 100 percent insurance correlation. I mean the play of my dreams would be to know when to double a hard 19 vs. a dealer 20 and draw the 2 for twenty one, and at the start of a new shoe!
I've been analysing many historical systems and have been trying to modify each of them retaining their best points while dropping the weaknesses. I have come up with a hybrid strategy which although is a very high multi-level system I believe could be possible to apply.
I simiply count the card values up to a certain denomination as its number rank, for example two counts as 2, three counts as 3 and so on. According to Griffin a similar system has over a 69 percent playing efficiency and I believe if you incorporate just an ace side count you can push it well over seventy(still far from 99) but making progress. I have also seen that it has a betting correlation between 98 and 99 percent. The only thing I am worried about is the insurance correlation as I want the information to be given with only the single count system with no insurance ten count.
Does anybody know if you can take multiparameter side counts into account and incorporate into the strategy decisions if the cards are already figured in the primary count which is as I have said is a very high multi-level count, which certainly complicates things?
I hope that if this outside knowledge can be used, it can push the strategy up near 100 percent and with the simplications I have made I do think this is very possible for the average person with enough practice, however I am not saying it is going to be easy but a constant challenge, but for me that's the fun part while blackjack itself is really somewhat boring(even with basic strategy). I really like the mental gymnastics.
Does anyone think this kind of play is possible for the average human, or just a dream or a chance of luck kind of play, something to leave to the computers?
