I would highly recommend you add some from of depth-based true counting to your KO system. It is oft-repeated but true that KO has you under-betting early and over-betting late. For example, and assuming you are using an IRC of 0 for six-deck, you are at a TC of 1 at +9 with 5 decks remaining. At the same depth, a +15 is a true 2. On the other end, with two decks remaining, that +15 that you increase your bet at gives you a true count of -0.5 (and a -5 if there’s one deck left).Originally Posted by EyeBRollin
I have spent a lot of time on my version of CKO and feel like I have the perfect KO system but am not 100% confident on my bet ramp and indices. That’s partially a symptom of me not owning any CV software for sims but I am not going to drop $100 on it just yet (I have a small bankroll and have already amassed indices and a bet ramp).
Cheers

I use the similar EZ-TKO
On the new reborn of pokermenteur.free.fr
http://blackjack.debourgogne.net/eztko
In French but Red Green did a translation that I will put back online
That is similar to what I use but I believe some of the calculations may have been lost in translation. I have memorized the RC’s for each true count (0 through 4) at every deck level so I know exactly what the true count is at all depths. For example, the set of numbers I have memorized for 4 decks remaining are -12, -8, -4, 0, 4 which reveal a true count of 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 respectively. I find this much easier than performing mental division.
P.S. I got a kick out of the French translation for a blackjack shoe, which is “hoof.”
The same thing except that I only memorize the 2,3,4 TCs
English version is online

I added "EZ-TKO Index Strategy" that I do not use anymore.
Actually the French word for a dealing shoe (as well as certain types of wooden or women's shoes) is "sabot". Jamed Bond when playing Baccarat or "chemin de fer" always moves a sabot round the table. Btw. I recently saw some new models of dealing shoes with "high heels" on the internet, which very closely resemble a women's shoe with high heel.
Maybe you guys can help me out with an idea I’ve been pondering for a little while. When CKO produces a Hi-Lo true count, it’s only completely accurate if a proportional amount of seven’s have been dealt. I’ve been using CV software (set to Hi-Lo, but I’m counting with CKO) and I’ve noticed that a good 1/3 of the time, the TC is off by one. Does anyone know if this disparity is significant or if it doesn’t mean anything in the long run. My thinking is that it may increase variance as it has me occasionally betting more or less than the accurate Hi-Lo true count warrants.

I did not bother to translate in english.
But if Don tells me it's worth, I'll do it with pleasure.
