Hey guys,
im sorta new to blackjack counting so i thought that i would start out with an easy system to get my feet wet: the KO Rookie
First of all, im a little confused. I dont quite understand how using the unbalanced system of KO eliminates the need to convert to a true count.
Also, in a six deck game, KO strategy says to begin with an IRC of -20 and to begin raising your bet at a count of -4. However, since KO uses an unbalanced counting method, the final count for any shoe will always be +4 (if you use the corresponding IRC for the # of decks). Isnt the point at which the player has the first advantage then always at a count of +4? If you raise your bet at -4 as KO suggests, isnt there going to be predominately more low cards left in the shoe leaving the player at a major disadvantage? or maybe im missing something? someone please explain.
