A Level 2 Variation on the Classic Hi-Opt 1

As you have probably gathered, the Hi-Opt 2 system is an upgrade to Hi-Opt 1, the name refers to this system being ‘highly optimal’. The original system was more straightforward, where the only values the player would use in the count were -1 and +1. Version 2 expands this to include +2 and -2 as well. This does make the Hi-Opt 2 system a little more complicated, but it also increases the potential profitability of the system compared to the original.

To use the Hi-Opt 2 system you’ll need to keep a running count of the card values. This system is balanced, meaning that by the time you reach the end of the deck (or decks) the count should have levelled itself out to zero. When you are learning this system, you can test your accuracy by ensuring that the count is zero after you turn the last card. Essentially, the higher the count is, the more you should be betting, although, as you’ll see in the next section, it does get a little more complicated than that due to the addition of the ‘true count’.

You’ll now add or subtract values to and from the running count based on the following cards.
