Hi all - I am a new here and really enjoying trolling through threads, both old and new. A lot of really interesting -- and some dubious -- info!

I'm a former occasional recreational gambler who is working on conversion to proper, hopefully profitable BJ (I know, I know - patience, grasshopper...): I've gone cold turkey on gambling. Memorized the BS for my local casino (6D, H17, DAS, No Surrender) and am working on KO (not interested in TC conversion).

I read about Color of Blackjack here (or maybe in another forum) and many positive comments about it so got it. Just finished it and thought it was a smart betting system to apply to KO. I didn't read it as a major change to the KO count or index play. In comparing to initial index plays (KO Preferred) I became curious about the insurance trigger. In KO the trigger is RC +3 (KO page 83) and in CBJ its 'hot' or +24. Those seem really far apart for the same base system. I bought CVBJ but haven't got the sim program and can't imagine both answers are correct or that their both so loosey goosey as to be approximately equivalent. I tried searching here and elsewhere for an old thread but no luck.

What am I missing here?

Thanks and best of the season!
