Ko system is a popular betting system used in Blackjack that involves counting cards. The basic idea of Ko system is to predict the number of aces that will be shown by the next card. If the player predicts the correct number of aces, they are awarded a ko (a Japanese word meaning “point”).
If the player predicts the wrong number of aces, they lose a ko. Ko system is usually used in low-stakes games where accuracy is more important than money won or lost.
The basic strategy of Blackjack using Ko System is to try to get as close to 21 as possible without going over. When playing with Ko System, it is important to remember that aces are worth 1 point, 2 through 10 are worth face value, and a jack or queen is worth 10 points. It is also important to remember that when counting cards, you should always start with the face value of the card and then add 1 point for each ace up to and including king.
For example, if an ace is counted as 1 point and there are no other cards showing, then the next card would be counted as 2 points. If another ace were to show, then the next card would be counted as 3 points.
