Vancura offers an unbalanced system, relates an outstanding history of card counting, and emphasizes the card counter's adversarial struggle with the casino. His K-O system uses an unbalanced count, (cards 2 through 7 are counted as plus 1 and tens and aces as minus 1 with no number count for 8s and 9s). Six major chapters cover strategy, card counting, the K-O system, and a comparison of systems, including Red Seven, UZ2, Hi-Opt 1, High-Low, and Omega 2. An excellent resource for any level player. 180 Pgs. 1998
