Olaf Vancura and Ken Fuchs, the authors of Knock-Out Blackjack: The Easiest Card-Counting System Ever Devised, have come up with a very powerful card counting system and they make it easy to understand in this book.
The system described in Knock Out Blackjack is called the K-O count and it eliminates the need for a true count conversion. Beginners might find this book a little overwhelming, but a card counter looking to keep the edge without having to work hard at the tables will find it indispensable.

What does the Blackjack Spy say about Knock Out Blackjack?

“The count system explained in this book is truly one of the best. But, in my experience, it’s one of the least used, which makes it more powerful because casinos and card rooms aren’t on the lookout for it specifically.”

Other readers had this to say:

John S.
“I think a lot can be said for the fact that, because the K-O is so simple, it may work more efficiently than even more advanced count systems.”

“K-O Blackjack is a mathematically sound counting system which involves much less effort and study than even the Hi-Lo system. Highly recommended!”

Casino Security and Gaming Surveillance

Derk Boss and Alan Zajic have over 60 years worth of combined experience in the casino security and gaming surveillance fields. In this book they explain the tools and techniques they use and teach to others to detect, catch, and prevent cheating, theft, fraud, or other forms of loss to the gaming industry.
Admittedly, this book has only a section on blackjack and isn't dedicated to the topic. It does, however, give the reader a good insight into what the casinos have been taught to catch card counters on their blackjack tables.

What does the Blackjack Spy have to say about this book?

"It won’t be long before this is the new manual casinos provide to their security and surveillance management. Most of the stuff taught in this book isn’t new to the seasoned casino manager, but they’re organized well and explained in good detail. It’s worth reading if you want to know what you’re up against.”
