Where did the lost winnings go?
We have seen that the frequency of positive true counts that you experience will decrease when a back-counter is present. This chart details that effect. The red line in this chart is taken directly from the red line two pages back. At the negative counts, the Hi-Lo player plays about the same number of hands whether or not a back-counter is present. But when the counter is haunting the table, only 80% as many high true counts are enjoyed. Now we add a green line to show the effect on the Hi-Lo player of another player splitting to two and then three hands. The hands played at a positive count are more severely reduced.

We now have three reasons to avoid other card counters:
Ø A back-counter reduces advantage.
Ø Same with a player switching to multiple hands at high counts.
Ø Two players with bets increasing and decreasing in unison identifies you both as counters.
