the betting correlation is 97% for both, and the playing efficiency is 51% for hi-lo and 55% for ko.. i thought hi-lo was better than ko? also if you could explain in detail what BC and PE are? i know the basic definition of each, but thats it..
Keep in mind that BC and PE don't predict win rate.
Keep in mind that PE is more important in 1-2 deck games and BE is more important in shoes.
Keep in mind the .51 is an overll blended number and that each index number representing when to depart fom BS, has it's own Playing Efficiency correlation attached to it and a bet based on TC at the time.
Keep in mind it's a theoretical number obtainable by a computer having perfect knowledge of each card remaining but not a human. Say a human can play well enough to gain 70% of that PE, 70% of the 0.04% difference makes the gap even narrower.
And I think (does anyone know) that .55 comes from Griffin? who just estimated it.
Also I imagine there are underlying assumptions in those numbers as to how many index numbers are played in some given game.
So, I believe, if one's goal is to win more money per hour or number of hands played, Hi-LO probably slightly outperforms KO in a lot of games with the same bankroll and risk. Not all games. And, not a difference that I'd really care that much about anyway.
