KO system

I don't know where you can get the indices but I do have the Knock-Out book. Actually, the great thing about KO is that there isn't much to it. I could e-mail you the indices if you'd like. Let me know how many decks so I'm not writing all of them. There are about 26 indices total for 6 deck.

Question about KO

look at pg. 162, hard 12 vs 2-6.

Let's assume that we've just shuffled a single deck and I have a 12 (10 and 2) vs 6 upcard playing heads up. According to the index, I'm supposed to hit? My count is now +1, but the index for 12 vs 6 is +2... Is that right?
 
KO is a pretty good system. What I would recommend doing is getting yourself some good simulation software and generating your own playing indexes for KO, for the types of games you will be playing. There are a lot of different rules out there and no book can give you complete information for your rules and your spread.

I believe its right.

Cyrano,

That doesn't seem right to me either. I don't use KO. I bought the book a long time ago but never used it.

I generated the single deck index for 12 v 6 using CVDATA and it gave me 2, also. Rules I used were 60% penetration, double on 9, 10, and 11 only. No resplitting, no DAS, only one card on Aces splits. It does depend on rules and I don't know what the rules are like in Las Vegas since I've never been there and there are no Single deck games in Indiana. So it seems to me that Vancura and Fuchs got it right.

Re: I believe its right.

Thanks John,

I checked some other systems and they all seem to say the same thing, so there's definitely a concensus. Hmmm... Strange that BS doesn't follow the index number in this case.
