It is fatal to suggest a system to improve the betting efficiency without providing full range of "Optimal betting spreads" especially for KO and for each system variant. Secondly, all of your systems defeat the purpose of "ease of use". You shouldn't have to keep track of AA78mTc for Hi-lo to improve playing and in addition keep a separate count of 45m79c or 5m7c to improve playing. That is too much!! What if the player want to improve both the playing and betting and don't want to use two side counts? You rather just incorporate one secondary count into Hi-lo so that it can both improve playing and betting at the same time and not use another side count. It is ridiculous

I am not making any money from my books and I am not trying to pedal my books. I have published this information as a courtesy at no charge. If you do not like it then do not use it. I never asked anyone to buy my books - it is your option. If they want more information then they can spend $3 or $4 for my book. And if you do not want to buy the books then don't. Buy a $4 cup of coffee at Starbucks instead.
Read my other posts about ease of use. I mentioned that I taught Carla, my friend who is not that bright and just of average intelligence, nothing special and who knew nothing about counting, the KO with AA89mTc and in less than 2 weeks she was 100% efficient in keeping both counts (I checked her on both counts) and she keeps both counts in her head! Carla does not even need any crutches like chips or using your fingers. These are +/- counts. You are keeping only two integers in your head. And with the KO, estimation of decks remaining is not that important as it is with the HL. Estimation to the nearest deck remaining is more than adequate when KO true counts are around its pivot of a true count of 4.
All I can tell you is that Carla and I have been using KO with AA89mTc for over 4 years now. We have no problem with the counts which can be played for hours on end with no exhaustion and no errors.
KO with AA89mTc is not ridiculous. What is "ridiculous" is keeping the level 2 HO2 with ASC where you have to estimate decks remaining very accurately and this is very hard to do which is why not many people use it and stick with the HL
I showed in previous posts on this thread how accurate KO true counts are around KO true count of 4 and how little it is affected by errors in estimating decks remaining. Review that thread for more details.
So bottom line, if Carla can keep KO with AA89mTc effortlessly and she had no special skills and is of average intelligence, then any reader on this post should also be able to keep KO with AA89mTc effortless after just a little practice.
