About this ebook
I'm a professional gambler. I discovered a revolutionary method to learn card counting!
RC-4(Decks Played)/Decks Remaining = TC.
Card Counting bottlenecks here! No more division! In all other systems you must calculate the TC (true count) in your head after each dealt hand. Daunting to do in a crowded, noisy casino. My revolutionary system reduces this formula to a single chart with a few strategic numbers to visualize and remember which will alert you to increase your bet. Bet small when the deck is cold. Bet more when the deck is hot. The casinos are afraid of me. I am not afraid of them. Become the David against the casino Goliaths.
Review by George C. (author, mathematician, blackjack guru) This book is an enticing and simplified methodology that squeezes every last drop from the KO count. A beginner shouldn't have any problems taking the original KO count and by using the color coded "cold, hot and warm" concepts shown by Daniel to optimize their play. You'll be playing professionally just after reading and applying the concepts that Daniel shows in the first four chapters of the book. I simulated Daniel's betting and playing methodology using both the original KO and his simplifications. The improvement in SCORE was almost 4%. Bottom line is this is a simplification of an already simple system that works well. I've known Daniel for quite some time now and he not only talks the talk but walks the walk. He's made quite a nice haul over the last few years and it's outlined in the book. I highly recommend this book not only for new users but hard-core KO users will find it of interest also.
Amazon Review ("from a real-world player") I have successfully been using KO for years and adding this simple, powerful, common-sense approach to true-counting KO has given my game new octane! This book has changed my game forever. I suggest having a firm grasp of the concepts in KO Blackjack before you read this book. I have read every book ever published on the subject of blackjack at least three times. This book cuts through the theoretical drudgery and gives practical advice for the player who doesn't want to wallow in the mathematical minutia, but wants to play the game! Highly recommended from a real-world player!

Preface
I wanted a sports car. Knowing nothing about engines I sought the advice of my son, an ardent car buff. I bought, with his recommended specs and because they had one in my favorite color, black.
My first test drive was over a circuitous route that took me through open country road providing long straight-aways and sharp turns. We performed beautifully.
The next day, my son came over eager to drive his recommendation. He first popped the bonnet and mumbled, Powertrain 2.5 litre turbo charged EJ257, drivetrain, 6-speed AWD with DCCD. At 4500 RPM producing 325 WHP; 3300 RPM equals 360 foot-pounds of torque, sweeeet!
I feigned a knowing smile.
He duplicated my drive in speed and performance and pulled into the driveway, exhilarated. My point: You don’t have to know HP from RPMs to get the most from your car.
Blackjack is similar. There are technical people. I mean gifted math scholars with a passion for game theory. They eat, breathe, sleep and obsess over every tiny detail of the game. They design systems that will beat the game and the casinos. I am in awe of and pay homage to their knowledge and skills. But when they come down from the math mountain and deliver a system to the unwashed masses, well guess what, you don’t have to be a math genius to use it! Just like the car, after technical people design and build it, ordinary people can use the system and get high performance results.
After many years of studying and playing blackjack, I have learned what is important and not important to beat the casinos. A veil of math mystery surrounds blackjack/card counting and intimidates many people, keeping them from enjoying the game. Many authors present their case in a technical way with math formulae so that you can calculate to the third decimal place – not necessary to beat a casino.
Over the last ten years, KO has won the
