I started using the KO system and wanted to know what you all think about it. Is it affective enough for a recreational gambler? Have you seen success using it?

I started with KO and used it for several years with success. It is a fine system, though it tends to underestimate advantage early in the deck and overestimate it late in the deck in deeply cut games.
Only reason I switched to Hi Lo was to play Sp21. I wanted to use the same basic system for both games.
Really I don't know much about KO except I did read the book years ago. However, I also thought 21forme's statement above was correct. I thought Bootlegger mentioned this years ago. Anyway at one time, I was playing at the same table with someone who used KO and I was raising my bet much before he was in a DD game.

Yes. A RC of N at the 5 deck level of a 6 deck shoe possesses a different expectation than a RC of N at the 4, 3, 2, and yes...even 1 deck level of a 6 deck shoe.
If I remember correctly, the given "average" expectation of the RC occurs at the middle point of a pack/shoe. That is, for a 6D game, at the 3 deck level, your EV computed by RC should match the overall average EV for that of High Low or any other system. This means that if you use High Low, Halves, RPC, KO, Zen, HOII, etc, at the 3 deck level, you should all have the same computed average expectation for betting.
The reason stems from the fact that KO does not require a TC conversion when making betting/playing decisions. You lose some efficiency, but no matter: you can TC KO ala TKO (Total Knock-Out?)
