    I always hear about other count talk about in this forum. For 8 deck games, will Hi_Lo get the money??! Is it good enough? I see the correlation betting is only .968 and Pe is .51! I believe that is very bad. Please let me know! Thank YOU

    For the modern game of blackjack (mostly shoes with 1.5 decks cutoff on average) Hi-Lo is plenty good enough. For shoe games you don't need a high PE, the Betting Correlation is what matters along with an adequate PE. If you want more power the three systems most players migrate to are Halves, Unbalanced Zen, or Zen. None of those three require any sidecounts.

    Hi-Lo is just fine. As you try to do more complicated counts you open yourself up to more errors.

    Frank -

    As a personal " Thank YOU " for sending me a few copies of your recent books that you published -

    I am sending to YOU a .pdf file which will show YOU that the Silver Fox / Koko Ita' point count method -

    Is superior to the highly touted " Hi-Lo " -

    Which will be sent under separate cover to your personal email address -

    WHEN PROPERELY UTILIZED -

    Is SO MUCH BETTER / EASIER than the " Hi-Lo " method of counting cards -

    A 2nd file that I am also sending to you -

    Describes a ' simplified method ' to accomplish accurate " deck estimations " so one can easily convert the " running count " to the " True Count " !

    I was taught top play " Professional Black Jack " circa 1988 - by none other than " The BEST " -

    He was and is " A True Legend " -

    I mentioned his name previously so I will NOT repeat it here nor anywhere !

    I am sending YOU this info after reading your struggles in your recent book " I am a Card Counter " -

    If there is ONE piece of advice I can give to you -

    It would be the following -

    " Better Late THAN Never " ! -

    Thank YOU, again - and give our regards to the " Beautiful AP " !

    $...eE..$ and " LuckyLady "
