The values
Unbalanced Zen 2 (UBZ II) is attributed to George C. (1995). It takes a Zen-like / Revere-like value spread and unbalances it so the running count can be used without dividing by decks.
IRC is (decks − 1) × −4, same formula as KO.
+2
3, 4, 5, 6
Strong plus cards.
+1
2, 7
Weaker plus cards.
0
8, 9
Neutral.
−1
A
Aces in the main count.
−2
10, J, Q, K
Tens.
The math
UBZ 2 is unbalanced. Start from the IRC. Do not convert to true count.
Initial running count = (number of decks − 1) × −4. Bet when the running count crosses the key count.
Efficiency
Level-two values with unbalanced betting math. BC is high; you still have more ranks than KO.

In the app
UBZ 2 is a Pro system. Practice uses the +2/−2 controls. Running Count starts from the IRC.
Drill the UBZ 2 values until every rank is automatic.
Start from the initial running count, then add every card as it comes off the shoe. IRC is (decks − 1) × −4.
No true-count conversion. Bet and play off the running count once it crosses the key count.
