Uston SS – Card Counting Strategies

Uston SS – An advanced, Level 3, unbalanced strategy optimized for betting. This is a proprietary strategy developed by Ken Uston, Arnold Snyder and Sam Case found in The Uston SS Count, Gambling Times Inc., 1986. This is an oddity – an advanced, unbalanced strategy. It was designed as the "Stongest and Simplest" (hence SS) strategy. There are very few indexes used in shoe games as the strategy relies on its 99+% Betting Correlation. Although very strong, "simplest" is clearly not accurate as most people would find a level III strategy daunting. George C.'s Unbalance Zen is quite a bit easier.
