    REKO Ace side count

    Hi girls and boys!

    Is there anyone out there using REKO effectively?

    Would it be worth the hussle to learn a new counting method just because it is a tiny bit more accurate?
    My problem is my deck estimation skill is not at its best unfortunately thats why i use REKO obviously. (with all indexes)

    And also is there any method to track aces by using REKO in order to squeeze more money out of the game? Because I've noticed (mostly) that around plus 11-12-13 and 19-20-21
    and 28-29 a few aces to be dealt. Whats the reason for that?


    Thanks for any help!!! You guys are great , forum is awesome my game has developed a lot in one year i am telling you. Cheers! All the best!

    REKO= Really Easy Knock Out. Why take a system designed for simplicity and then complicate it beyond any recognition? For no gain.

    Wasting your time, don't need that complex of a system for shoe games. If you're playing a lot of pitch games you should just learn a more powerful system like A02 or Zen. If you want a simple system that lends itself to adding sidecounts then you might look at Hi-Opt 1.

    You can develop this skill quite easily. CVBJ of course has a deck estimation practice set, however, I find it better to use a actual decks. Almost any casino will give you used decks of cards for free. I have 6 decks on my desk numbered to 312. When I have a few minutes, I say I'm going to cut 78 cards or 93 cards or 215 cards, then I lift and peek at how close I am. It doesn't take too long and you'll become pretty accurate.

    Those days are well behind us.

    Nowadays, casinos charge anywhere from $1 to $3 per used deck.

    The cards will either have holes punched through them or they will have a corner sanded off.

    I guess it depends on the casino Zen because where I play the casinos will load you down with arms full of them for free. They do have a small nip somewhere or black markings on the edges etc but they are still perfectly good cards for practice.

    I use KO which is very much similar to reko, I have also tested it in simulated shoe games parallel to HiLow and I can say that the signals are almost the same, even better in reko in positive counts, it tells you how much to increase in fractions relative to the EV
    what you need to strengthen your reko is learn what it taught in this book "color of blackjack". you must be able to estimate roughly first 3 decks only, and it even don't need to be precise, and then increase your bet based on the semi-true-counted reko that is taught on that book. no extra formula is needed, you are going to memorize only 3 numbers and that's it!
    this will give you 60% of the power of any true-counted system.
    good luck!

    Yes learn the Daniel dravot insurance tweak. Which involves doing side counts of aces.
