Default Re: Best Counting Systems & Index numbers

Ok what about given no mistakes? This is the standard answer everyone gives why not just answer the question?

Here you go, Mr. Perfect:
1) Learn a more complicated count system and memorize about 100 new index numbers. After all, the added power from a 2- or 3- level system comes from playing efficiency, even though betting correlation (which hi-lo does quite well) is far more important.

2) Since you're perfect, you won't have any trouble side-counting aces which is essential for all multi-level systems. But since you're perfect, if you're playing a single-deck game, you'll definitely want to side-count 7's as well and maybe even 6's.

3) Also, since you're perfect, you'll be able to play sessions of the same length without fatigue despite the more complicated mental gymnastics.

4) And, of course, since you're perfect, you'll have no trouble confusing the two different sets of index numbers (not to mention the card tags), when you return to hi-lo for playing shoes. Oops, you won't have to use hi-lo for shoes because you're perfect and will have no difficulty side-counting 24 to 32 aces so you can continue to use your multi-level count.
