Knock-Out Blackjack:
The Easiest Card-Counting System Ever Devised

by Olaf Vancura, Ken Fuchs If you're a recreational player, this is the book for you!, July 1, 1999 Reviewer: A reader from San Diego, CA Overall, this is an excellent book for casual or recreational players who want a simple Blackjack system, based on card counting, that will provide them with a definite edge over the house. The K-O System presented in the book is a level-1, "unbalanced" system that is as easy to use as it gets. The authors, Vancura and Fuchs, cover the basics of card counting and casino comportment in a very clear, concise manner. So, unless your goal is to play at the pro or semi-pro level, this may be all the BJ book you need. My only real criticism of this book is the disingenuous way the authors exaggerate the power of the K-O System. It's a good blackjack system, but, Vancura and Fuchs to the contrary, it can not and does not compare to real powerhouse systems such as Carlson's Advanced Omega II System, or Uston's Advanced Point Count. And, actually, there wasn't any real need to overstate the power of the K-O System; considering its ease of use, it's plenty powerful for most blackjack players. Very good book .. dont listen to others.., November 11, 2002 Reviewer: A reader from North East, United States ill make this short and brief and not into a novel like 2 other "reviewers" who think there siskel and ebert of the book/blackjack world lol anyways the book is excellent ... and since i read it i have been winning on a consistent basis.. and i play at multiple deck games at the $25 tables... not the $5 tables that siskel and ebert probably play at... and the fact that Dr. Thorpe and The Bishop highly recommend it tells me the book is worth buying and using in a real casino setting..so take it from this consistent winner at blackjack.. buy this book!!!
