    Neither.
    Learn HiLo: 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 -1 -1

    Why? because for most counters, even serious pros, simpler is better.

    FORGET the Hi-Lo -

    Silver Fox / Koko Ita - 'Green Fountain' count is MORE accurate -

    2-7 = +1 / 8 =0 / 9, 10, A = -1 !

    1 1 1 1 1 1 / 0 / -1 -1 -1

    Like the Hi - Lo - a ' Balanced ' count -

    Deck begins and ends at a count of ' Zero ' -

    When executed correctly !

    The Ita/Fox is equal with Hilo, yes slightly more accurate...
    ... and some may find it slightly easier to play.

    ITA: playing accuracy: .54 betting accuracy: .98
    Hilo: playing accuracy: .51 betting accuracy: .97
