What is the difference between the ReKO and Hi-Lo card counting systems?

[Julio88]

The main difference between ReKO and Hi-Lo card counting systems is that ReKO is a balanced card counting system, while Hi-Lo is an unbalanced card counting system. In a balanced system, the player keeps track of the ratio of high cards to low cards in the deck and bets accordingly. In an unbalanced system, the player keeps track of the absolute number of high cards in the deck and bets accordingly. The ReKO system is considered to be more accurate and easier to master than Hi-Lo, while Hi-Lo can be used to gain an advantage over the casino, but it is difficult to master and requires practice and skill to be used effectively.

Correct application of the ReKO and Hi-Lo systems makes them both efficient card counting techniques. They both give players useful information about how the remaining deck is put together, enabling them to modify their betting and playing tactics accordingly.
