    Problems when customizing KO count in CV (Playing and Betting strategy numbers)

    Hello

    I have difficulties in getting Casino Verite to work with my counting system, which is a customized version of the KO count, but with different IRCs, key counts and pivot points
    in order to avoid negative counts, like proposed by Vancura/Fuchs in their book.

    They propose e.g a Key Count of +22 rather than +2 for Single Deck, so all values must be elevated by 20. In my case, I tried to elevate all values by 100 for Single Deck (and similar elevations for other deck numbers).

    Since I want to play everything from 1 to 8 decks, I guess a Simple Playing Strategy is not sufficient, because I need different IRCs and different bet ramps for different numbers of decks. So I must define an "Advanced" / "Complex" Playing and Betting strategy, right?

    I therefore derived a Complex Playing Strategy based upon KO Preferred, and set the Initial Running Counts according to my needs to high positive numbers around 100, depending on the number of decks.

    My first problem regards Playing Strategy.

    I saw that even after I elevated the Initial Running Counts inherited from KO Preferred, the Index numbers for Insurance are still all +3 (regardless of number of decks), according to the uncustomized Vancura/Fuchs, where the Pivot Point is always +4 and Insurance one less. And the other index tables show the group indices G1 and G2 from KO count are still +4 and -4 etc., despite of my elevation of the Initial Running Counts.

    However, with my elevated IRCs, I will never encounter a Running Count of only +3. Do I have to elevate the Insurance counts (in this case e.g. from 3 to 103) and the other index numbers according to my elevated IRC, or does Casino Verite automatically adapt all index numbers?

    If yes, is this automatic adaptation only visible during a Play Session and not in the Playing Strategy tables?

    My second problem regards Betting Strategy.

    I want to setup a Complex Betting Strategy, since I use different bet spreads and different bet ramps depending on number of decks.

    But as opposed to Playing Strategy, I could not find a suitable Betting Strategy in the KO Preferred folder to derive my own Betting Strategy (bet ramps). I tried "1-6 spread", but it seemed that it is not possible to set the Running Count betting range to higher values than 50 (see attachment). But I would need e.g. a betting count range from 100 to 105 or something.
