Wong Halves – Card Counting Strategies 522b2c

Wong Halves – An advanced, Level 3, balanced strategy, using fractions and optimized for betting found in Professional Blackjack, Pi Yee Press, 1975, rev. 1994. This is one of the strongest systems. But, it is quite difficult. Most people double the tag values to remove the fractions. Although still in use, most people opt for much simpler strategies as current research does not show that much of a difference. Originally, some people side-counted aces when playing single deck with Wong Halves. This is so complex that the tables are no longer in print. 5i3n3z
