In the KO Count System, the indices or starting number is based upon the number of decks used in the variation. It is the popular unbalanced card counting system that doe not make use of conversion of the running count to the true count. It eliminates the running count from the true count hence reducing the error. With the KO Count System, its initial running count des not start-off at 0 but starts with a -4. Generally, its running count starts with a negative value unlike other card counting systems that start from 0. Therefore, for each deck being used in a variation, the running count will start from -4 given to each deck. Hence, if a variation is using 6 decks, then the running count will start at -24. Therefore, the running count should give a +4 when all cards are dealt on the table.
With the use of this card counting system, you will always be in the negative region. This strategy is effective with a blackjack variation that makes use of multiple decks. It delivers great accuracy thereby giving a player an added advantage. Thus, with the KO Count System, if the running count is too high in the negative region this depicts that the deck is low card reach and a player would have to reduce his stake size. When the running count is towards to zero or ranging from -10 to -2, it indicates that the deck is high card rich giving a player an added advantage to increase his/her stake size because the dealer is more likely to bust and a player is more likely to receive blackjacks and a high hand value.
