Reko card counting system in blackjack
REKO stands for Ridiculously Easy KO. This system delivers on both counts. It really is a very simple counting method that is easy to learn and can bring the casino to its knees mightily.
Reko system was developed by Norm Wattenberger, the author of Modern Blackjack, a fairly known internet pioneer. Wattenberger also developed software systems to perfect the art of card counting. However, you do not need a computer program to master REKO, because this system is very easy to learn and use. The REKO system is actually a simplified variant of the KO system, similar to the system used in MIT Blackjack. The MIT team robbed Las Vegas casinos of a lot of money and was also a subject of the well-known movie 21.
It must be noted that REKO system has received some criticism from dedicated card counters.
The Basics of REKO system
This system works with numerical values assigned to cards to create a running count that results in a positive or negative number. Positive numbers (+2,+3, +4) indicate that the deck is advantageous to the player and the player can increase their bets to take advantage of this. A negative number (-1, -2, -3) indicates that the deck is in house’s favour and raising the stakes would not be good.
The problem with REKO system is its lack of complexity. While it works just like other, more advanced card counting methods, it does not use enough card values.
The starting count does not start with 0. You start the count by multiplying the number of decks in play by -2. In the eight-deck game, your starting count is -16. In a six-deck game, your starting point in -2. That is, REKO assumes that the deck is advantageous to the house right from the start. Before any bets can increase, the count must fall into a positive range.

xSuiZ The article is fire! Everything was laid out according to the facts. Drake is not a ludomaniac, he is a walking advertisement. And while the suckers believe in his "curse", Stake rakes in the money. Beautiful, you can't say anything. I've been riding a steak myself for a year now, I threw in crypto and generally don't give a about all the blocking.
Leoak Finally a good article on NC! I've been playing them since the very beginning, since the first Deadwood. Yes, their dispersion is crazy, you can lose a deposit in 100 spins. But when he pours ... It's worth it. In Mental x15k I caught, I still remember this spin. The whole point is in their x-mechanics, they really change the game, and not just for show.
tealblossom 2 minutes to respond? Yes, this is a dream! Otherwise, while you wait for these operators, you will already want to play. It's high time!
