- Most newcomers to card counting for blackjack crave an easy to learn method. The KO or Knockout System was developed to be both simple and effective. It is actually based on an earlier British system but was adapted by Olaf Vancura and Ken Fuchs in their blackjack book Knock-Out Blackjack: The Easiest Card Counting System Ever Devised.
- What is the best card counting system, e.g. (Zen Count) from the most profitable to the least? That depends on a lot of things, the most important thing is (IMHO) complexity.
- Before you can understand which method is the best, you have to understand how methods are measured. Card counting methods are measured using a few metrics:. The first is betting correlation, which is how much betting correlate to the count.

SSR - You said twice that OPP is significantly worse than Hi-Lo. Do you know this for a fact or are you just quoting somebody else? This doesn't 'mesh' with my personal findings...see below.
Ray/Funky Chicken - I saw the early disagreement about the numbers too, but after looking into the OPP for the last few days I think FC is correct about OPP being about 80%+ as effective as Hi-Lo.
I talked for two hours Sunday with a player friend in LV who has already played it 'live' in casinos. He walked me through the complete method and the spreads he used, etc. ..then Fed-X'd me everything he had on it.
I spent Monday and Tuesday analyzing it and playing it for about twenty hours here in my office (hand dealing and CV) to get a feel for the 'flow' of it. Some observations:
- It is incredibly easy to learn and use. Probably three/four hours maximum for anyone who has counting experience..then another few hours to get 'comfortable' with it.
- The accuracy of the betting decisions was much higher than I expected from a method so easy. I tracked it vs Hi-Lo and Red7 and and the ramp decisions were essentially parallel....And this supports Funky Chicken's numbers above and my friends belief that it plays to at least 75% of Hi-Lo.
Just sharing some thoughts on what I observed...Hope it helps someone.
