Revere Point Count – Card Counting Strategy 5w6q3j

Revere Point Count – An advanced, Level 2, balanced strategy optimized for betting found in Lawrence Revere's Playing Blackjack as a Business, Lyle Stuart, 1980. Revere created many Blackjack strategies. I believe this to be his best and one of the best overall of card counting strategies for shoes given the 99% betting correlation. (Recent studies suggest that Zen with full indexes is ever so slightly superior.) A few players use an Ace side-count when playing single-deck games with RPC. But this is very difficult and unneeded. Many long time players still use this strategy. However, new players rarely use it with the availability of easier counts. 32x61
