KO Card Values

Hey everyone, I'm new to counting as I just returned from my first casino trip and thought I would give learning how to count a shot. Like recommended here on the forums, I went out and bought Knock-Out BJ. The card value chart in the book gives a 7 a +1 value. I have heard friends in the past discuss counting, and they have always given 7 a neutral value. Is +1 the generally accepted value for a 7 or this is just specific for KO?

Some systems value 7s some do not. The KO values the 7 in order to "unbalance" the count. The HiLo for example counts 2-6 v. 10-A and it is a "balanced" count.

KO is unique because its unbalanced - its based on a slightly different principal that balanced counts like HiLo - AND AS A RESULT, KO IS SIMPLER TO EMPLOY without any real loss of power - KO's unbalanced approach eliminates the single most difficult step for many aspiring counters - NO TRUE-COUNT CONVERSION ARITHMATIC IS REQUIRED.

Never mind what that 'true-count' conversion is, just start learning KO, starting with the total mastery of BASIC STRATEGY. zg

KO indices?

Does anyone know what the KO indices are? Also if you have them for hi-lo that would be great.

Thanks
