I lost quite a bit of money using the K-O Systems. Legal action?

I lost quite a bit of money using the K-O Systems. Does anyone know what type of legal action I may take up against Huntington Press and or the authors of this book?

If you got the money and a lawyer willing to take the case, you can sue anybody for anything. You might even find a court willing to listen to the case for a couple of minutes.

In the interest of saving you a lot of time and energy, just send me about 10 grand, and forget about it.

You probably will have no difficulty getting your $17.95 back if you take legal action. But you may not have to take legal action to get your money back -- maybe you can get it back by just by asking. The appropriate party to ask is the retailer that sold you the book, rather than Huntington Press.

I am not a lawyer, and the above is not legal advice.

For years I have had homeowner's insurance and paid much money in premiums. Now, after 40 years, I am selling my home. I never had to file any claim because nothing bad happened to my house. Can I sue the insurance companies to get my money back??

dumbass

Who cares whether he used it perfectly or not? Even if he used
it perfectly and lost $50,000, that's completely plausible since he could have been cheated or he was ruined. I mean if he played with a 2% ROR which I doubt, that's still a chance that he could have been ruined.

If I had a suspicious mind, I'd have to wonder if the KO bashers aren't casino types who don't like the idea that such a simple system can win money from them.

My opinion, after 2 years: KO is an excellent system for the recreational player.

The only thing I'd recommend for a new player is to drop all the IRCs and "key" counts given in the book by -4, so the pivot is always 0 instead of +4. Apparently, the only reason the pivot is at +4 in the original system is because it represents approximately the same advantage as Hi-Lo +4. But, with the pivot at 0 and the IRCs at (-4 * #decks), you are all set to transition to True-count KO (TKO), whenever you're ready, and you can do the transition incrementally. That is, I'm still at the stage where I mostly play in running-count mode, using the (-4 adjusted) key and pivot as described in KO preferred, but whenever the count is near the key either early or late in the shoe (the cases where unbalanced counts are less accurate), I can do a quick true-count calculation to check it. I haven't started doing it yet, but eventually I plan to improve my playing strategies with more precise TKO indices for at least the I18. The advantage of this approach is that I can add the indices a few at a time, but I'll still be playing in running-count mode for most hands, doing the calculation only on an "as needed" basis.

if you happened to have a legit fire and but didn't get paid by your insurance my guess is yes. Dingdong!

with out a license.

be fewer traffic fatalities and fewer casinos.

KO was written to appeal to the lowest common denominator. They don't care if you go broke using the system as long as they can grab your 17.95 making you think you can use it to win. I happen to know someone who submitted a blackjack paper to them and Huntington Press told him "the blackjack industry has gone simplistic". IOW they're more interested in publishing something simple that they can sell to a mass audience than something that works better but is more complicated. They couldn't write a book that used hi-low because that would've been plagurism so they boogered up hi-low by including the 7 (and not the 9), thus turning it into an "unbalanced system" and, voila we have an "original" system that can be hawked off on the suckers.
