Index question.

[ScottH]

When I looked at the indices for KO-Full, I noticed that they are all different for different number of decks. Does that mean I would have to learn different indices for different games? Or is there a way to learn one set of indices that works for all games?

Thats one of the drawbacks of an unbalanced RC system. It may be possible to create a composite set of indices for 2-6D, but I've never seen one.

One the other hand, balanced TC systems require only one set. zg

From what I seen, it doesn't look like you can make a composite set. That's probably due to the different IRC's.

Is it fairly critical to know more indices when playing 2-deck games? This just gives me even more incentive to upgrade to a TC counting system. Until I upgrade I think the top 18 indices shown in the KO book will be OK.

Actually, its the different IRCs that would make a single set work, but it doesn't.

Here is a composit 1-2D set I came up with, but like I say, I've never seen a 2-6D KO composite.

For 2d-6d composite set, see the reKO system at http://www.qfit.com/REKOStrategy.htm. This is as good as the KO-P set but clearly not as good as KO-Full.

There, thats the one to learn! (for now)

QFIT - Can we add a few +3 indices, like XX and A9 v. 4/5/6 and 15/16 v 9 and 14 v 10, etc.?

This is definately one of the drawbacks of using a unbalanced counting system. Here is how i do it using kiss III.... Example: I start at a count of 9 when it reaches 20 the count is favorable enough to increase your bet. Now the index number for standing on 16vs. 10 is 17... but that is just a rough estimate. If one deck of the six has been dealt and my count is 15 this would be appropriate to Stand. Now if 5/6 have been dealt and my rc is 16 it would be the correct move to HIT 16v10. Fudging the index numbers this way can make a unbalanced system as good as one that uses a TC.

Indexes can certainly be added. But it does mess with the simplicity.

[zengrifter]

OK, so give us some optional half-dozen high-end indices. zg

Afraid I'm in the middle of something at the moment.
