You caught my mistake. I didn't even realize I had them backwards until just now. My fault on that. I meant ZG said TKO actually did outperform Hi-Lo! :p:grin:

Like I said good sir, the sims came from Solo Player. Zengrifter told me in another thread that Hi-Lo actually did outperform TKO before I ever spoke to Solo, but his sims said differently. I asked if it was an operator error but he said no and I gave him the benefit of the doubt.:p However, the...

To be honest, don't use TKO. Solo Player and I had a recent private discussion about the performance between TKO, KO-Preferred, and Hi-Lo because I was once a TKO user. He ran a sim for me of those three along with Halves and Zen (both irrelevant). Sim: 6D, H17, DAS, RSA, LS, 4.5/6 cutoff...

You can double the tags to get rid of the fractions, but then you have to divide by half-decks to get the TC. If you want to do this, remember that the index numbers don't change (Index table in Professional Blackjack). Professional Blackjack is really all you need to be successful with the...

I am relatively new to the system. Been on it for about a month now, but I'm doing what works for me. I'm sure you could pair up a 5 with three .5 value cards, and all the different variations of that, but I'm already done counting the table by the time the dealer gets to his upcard. This gives...

I'm using Halves and I believe it will perform the best for you through practice and learning indices. The main difficulty comes from the arithmetic of the card values. I suggest counting the cards as they are being dealt. This is the simplest way I've learned how to count the system so far, and...

Eh, people are unnecessarily paranoid about heat. But I need to know a little more detail about the situation. Were they $5 units, $10 units, $25 units etc...? Also, was the casino crowded? Were there a lot of ploppies at the tables or were you playing during an uncrowded time/graveyard shift...

Tko It seems we have a different understanding of what complexity is. For KO-Full, the indices are pretty easy to learn, all that's recquired is a couple minutes a day of memorization, and there aren't that many indices to begin with. Also, adjusting your IRC to the number of decks played...

Ko! I was a KO-Full user for about a year, so if you have any other questions about the system, don't be afraid to ask... I understand the problem with starting on a negative number for an IRC. Simply adjusting it to "0" makes everything much simpler, as it has been stated. One of my buddies...

Read QFIT's SuperSCORE comparison of most systems. I'm using Halves which is a very strong count for multiple deck games. It has a BC of .99 which is a major factor to consider in playing 4/6/8 deck games and makes very little to no error in estimating advantage. Also, it's the best count...

Good variance. You'll hit some swings here and there eventually. Don't get too big headed, it makes losing sessions psychologically worse. Stick to the math. For the other question, run a sim with your rules and penetration to figure out the hourly. I wish you the best variance! :grin:

This guy claims to have a system to beat CSM's but he knowingly takes the time to post his thread in the "Voodoo Section" :laugh: If he remotely thought any of his system was accurate this thread would be somewhere else. Such a sap!

I really appreciate your help with the simming of my situation and thanks for your time. I plan on investing in it very soon, and I know I should have bought it a long time ago but I just haven't had the extra cash just yet. Slowly but surely in the near future I will. :)

Do your minimum bet x1000 to yield the BR which will be sufficient enough to have your RoR < 5%. I believe your RoR will be ~.5%, but this is without running the numbers. I'm just giving you a rough set of information that you could possibly work with. I would be happy to really figure this out...

Thanks for the advice. What do you think about a $5 minimum table??
