    OK, provided that your income is secure (unfortunately not always predictable nowadays)

    I use some IRC of about 100, for other logical reasons. But there are many options.

    I could understand exactly 100. Not about 100.

    Are you poor? If so you shouldn't be playing Blackjack!!! It is not very wise to play Blackjack if you lack the money.

    I use an IRC of -20 for 6 deck. One perk of that is that with one deck left, the running count is the true count. And it’s simpler for my chart of RC/TC’s. Also, the pivot of 4 is always a true count of 4.

    Easiest way to do this is to combine bankrolls with someone else. Two people can play on the same bankroll, the cards don't know! Also, this strategy helps to get to N0 faster. For example, if you can play 25 hours a week and buddy plays 25 hours a week, its the same as playing 50 hours a week. You must trust their play and strategy!

    Yes, that's one of the advantages of team play. Plus, it should reduce variance.

    I wrote "about" because my IRC varies, depending on number of decks, like in original KO. Didn't want to go into detail but they are all approximately at 80 to 100. As Vancura/Fuchs write, you can fix the pivot point (like they did), fix the IRC (like Dravot), or fix s.th. different. Each has its advantages.

    The original formula to convert the KO running count to a TKO true count is :
    You can only simply it if IRC is like I said : 0 or-4*decks



    TKO = (RC-IRC-4*P) / R
    RC = Running Count
    IRC = Initial Running Count
    P = Decks played (seen)
    R = Remaining decks (not seen)

    This is true, but since I don't use true counting, my interest was in simplifying KO in a different respect.
