Dear Wizard.
I play multiple decks BJ using hi/lo Ken Uston cards counting system. Most of the time tables are deeply negative, what makes very hard to overcome house edge. QUESTION: isn't it easier to overcome house edge of 1.32% in single deck game, since you must divide
total count on number<1 to get true count. You need just 3 low cards to be out in 1/3 of the deck played to have nice positive edge varying up to 0.7%((3:0.75)*0.5-1.32=0.68). Assuming each 1 true point gives 0.5 edge to player. It happens way to often than total+24 count in multiple deck(which would be equal for my sample for 6 decks game)
Thank you , Alex . Brooklyn
