The book "Knock-Out Blackjack" (by Olaf Vancura and Ken Fuchs) introduces the K-O count.   K-O is the simplest set of tools ever devised to successfully beat the casinos.   What have you been missing? Step into the ring, the bout begins here!

"Simple and powerful, clear and entertaining" -- Edward O. Thorp, Author of Beat the Dealer

"***** Outstanding." -- Michael Dalton, Editor/Publisher of Blackjack Review

"My new recommendation for the one book every new player should read....destined to become a classic." -- Arnold Snyder,Publisher of Blackjack Forum 

"...nearly miraculous results." -- Don Schlesinger, Creator of Illustrious 18, Author of Blackjack Attack: Playing the Pros' Way

"Best for the aspiring card-counter" -- Anthony Curtis, Publisher of Las Vegas Advisor

The Knock-Out System is a Level-1 unbalanced point count. As such, K-O does NOT require true count conversions (the painful and error-prone arithmetic in which the card counter must first estimate the number of decks remaining and then divide the running count by this estimate) or any side counts. The Preferred Knock-Out System also includes a Reduced and Rounded set of strategy variation indices. These top 18 basic strategy departures are "rounded" to just three, easy to remember, count values -- each of which has a fundamental meaning to the K-O technique. Despite the ease of K-O, the system performs admirably against all popular card counting tries.
