What exactly does that mean? Does it mean only 51% of the time we deviate correctly from the deviation number?

Playing it correctly means you've already won.

I understand the concept that "PE indicates how well a card counting system handles changes in playing strategy."
but what exactly does 51% mean, Does it mean that the index play is only correct 51% of the time?

+100!

In my real job we have a saying... RTFM! Read The F-ing Manual. Most simple answers are still readily available there, and nowadays are more easily found in Google or Bing. LOOK IT UP.

And another thing... .51% = 51 chances out of 10,000. Whatever it means, that's pretty good. 51%, well, that's almost 50-50!

A simple answer is an unmeaningful answer.

I had the answer you are looking for within one minute of searching for it. Search for it yourself. No one is willing to spoon feed you the answer you are unwilling to put any effort into finding yourself.

Think about it as the goal posts between playing basic strategy and playing perfectly if you knew the distribution of every card left in the deck.
The race is not always to the swift, nor the battle to the strong; but that is the way to bet.

Funny how the common circlejerk in this thread is "just google it" or pretending how easy it is to figure out.


Does anyone know or can anyone link to a page that describes how it's calculated? The only thing that really shows up (multiple times) is the following....which is pretty obvious, but isn't what the OP is asking:

Quote:

Playing Efficiency - PE indicates how well a card counting system handles changes in playing strategy. Playing efficiency is particularly important in hand-held games (one or two decks.)




What does a PE of 51% indicate? Who the hell knows (I know I don't).

It's a great article, thanks!
so using no index play at all has a PE of 0%.

The author said:
Hi-Lo with full indices has PE = 0.470.
It applies to the specific rule in his article, but usually, I see everywhere says hi-lo has a PE of 0.51. Under what specific rule does hi-lo has a PE of 0.51?

The article ends by noting that the simulated PE’s are lower than the approximations given by Griffin. The author speculates about reasons that might be true but doesn’t delve into it.
