How do rules affect indexes?

This chart provides an example of an index affected by rule change. Normally we do not split 4s against a dealer 5. But with the Double after Split rule, we do. The green line is the advantage with no splitting. As the count increases, the green line slopes upward giving us a very nice advantage at higher counts where the dealer is more likely to bust.

The red line displays advantages for splitting the 4s with no DAS. This line also increases as the count rises. But it does not rise quickly enough to cross the green line. So, we never split.

On the other hand the blue line adds the extra advantage due to the possibility of doubling after a split. The blue line does cross the green line indicating that the split is advantageous above the cross point.
