Popping my AP cherry.

[sagefr0g]

My bankroll used to be $40k until I decided to invest 10k into something else. I'm purchasing a sim this week, which one do you recommend?.....Thanks SystemsTrader, for the bet spreads.... I'll use them eventually....when I'm more prepared. You all are right, it does make sense to risk less money to start. Maybe I'll start with a $5k bankroll...I'll wait until I dink around with a sim and come up with something good.

well while your thinking and studying up on software don't overlook

and then i'd upgrade to cvcx .

but you need to do your homework on all that and make your own decision of course.

Red seven with and true edge gives you a much better indicater of how much to bet in correlation to optimum betting strategy. You can pul it of by running count indexes. so if you have the right numbers with you using KO nothing should change the way you do it. I guess in KO using 6 deck you - 4 is the indeed the number where you start to upgrade your bets. My apoligize. I thought for a moment you used Red Seven count. It is has been shown though that REd seven outperforms KO, and not the other way around.

If using unbalanced counts you better change to red seven. It can be found on Arnold Snyders website. He has great simulation software what you could use for any form form of rules to see what you are up to. Everything is the same comparing True edge calculation but for KO it pivot number is indeed -4 with 6decks. But again with that kind of money you better switch to highlow or use a true edge with your unbalanced count.

Hope it helped.

In the game you described (H17 6deck 75% pen) KO will outperform red seven and HiLo on a risk adjusted basis (according to Snyder). Any system is acceptable though with that BR you would be better searching for better games instead of switching systems.
