Developed by Arnold Snyder and refined by John Revere, the Revere RAPC (Revere Red Seven Ace-Internal Count) balances the decks by assigning sensitive values to each card to maximize precision.
Origins and Philosophy
- 1980s: Arnold Snyder first published RAPC.
- John Revere: Adjusted the values to optimize for multiple decks.
- Balanced: Fully balanced system, direct True Count.
- Requirement: Master basic strategy and maintain constant practice.
"The key is differentiating every card, not simplifying the count."
How It Works
Assign values from +4 to −4 based on the card rank, then divide by remaining decks to get the True Count.
Card 5: +4
Cards 6, 4, 3: +3
Cards 7 and 2: +2
Card 8: 0
Card 9: −1
Cards 10, J, Q, K: −3
Ace: −4
True Count = Running Count ÷ Decks remaining
