"K-O is a simple and powerful
card-counting system that deserves serious consideration, clearly
and entertainingly presented."
--Edward O. Thorp, Ph.D., Author of Beat the Dealer
"The Knock-Out blackjack system is a very well thought out
and clearly presented system which allows players to obtain a
healthy advantage over the casinos. Very logical and easy-to-follow,
an excellent book for any player who is looking for one of the
easiest and strongest professional level systems every published.
The book provides an excellent overview of card-counting from
both the historical and mathematical perspectives, presented
in a style which is both scholarly and easy to read."
--Arnold Snyder, Publisher of Blackjack Forum
"***** Outstanding. Highly recommended. Knock-Out Blackjack
is a welcome addition to my library of high quality books on
blackjack. Not only is the K-O unbalanced system a valid and
winning blackjack method, but it ranks as one of the top single-
level counts available to players today. Knock-Out Blackjack
also
includes an outstanding history of card counting, good blackjack
tips and tricks, honest side commentary, and stories that bring
home the card counter's cat-and-mouse struggle with the casino."
--Michael Dalton, Editor/Publisher of Blackjack Review
"K-O is a novel card-counting system, which, given its simplicity
in design and execution, produces nearly miraculous results.
In the past, we would always recommend that the neophyte begin
with the hi-lo. With the advent of K-O, I predict that, in the
near future, it will supplant hi-lo as the system of choice for
the aspiring card counter."
--Don Schlesinger, Creator of Illustrious 18 and author of Blackjack
Attack: Playing the Pros' Way
"There is simply no reason for the aspiring card-counter
to consider anything but an unbalanced count, and the Knock-Out
system is the best of them."
--Anthony Curtis, Publisher of Las Vegas Advisor

From "BlackJack Forum", Winter-1996, by Arnold Snyder:
"There's a new book, 'Knock-Out Blackjack', and inexpensive
companion software, 'Knock-Out Blackjack Workshop', by Olaf Vancura
and Ken Fuchs. Vancura and Fuchs are the first authors who appear
to have fully comprehended the message I've been attempting to
relay to players since 1980 -- Go For Simplicity! They have divised
an unbalanced running count system, utilizing an optimally reduced
set of strategy indices, that is both easy and extremely powerful.
In their computer simulation tests, their counting system matches
up favorably with the best true count systems vs. any number
of decks. The book itself is thorough, clear, and despite the
fact it is loaded with all the technical information you'd want
or need, it's written in a light amusing style that's fun to
read. This is my new recommendation for the one book every new
player should read. You will never have to go beyond the system
in this book for traditional card counting.
Even seasoned counters should read this book. It is quite frankly
the best compilation of the theories of card counting on the
market, destined to become a classic."
