Product Description
Depend on the rabbit's foot if you will, but remember it didn't work for the rabbit. ~ R.E. Shay.
My name is Daniel Dravot. I'm a professional gambler. It's time to hear from someone in the trenches.
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.
Some might see a book called, "The Color of Blackjack" for sale which teaches the same system. I wrote it. I made the DVD first. The positive response has been phenomenal. I was repeatedly asked for a book. I listened. The material is the same, it comes down to how you like to learn.

Review from George C. (A highly respected guru in the blackjack world)
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 "cool, 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%. By-the-way, I used Qfit's CVData for the sims. 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 Daniel's system not only for new users but hard-core KO users will find it of interest also.

Review from Ken Smith (blackjack expert)
I've known Daniel Dravot for quite a few years now. He's a successful and experienced pro player. He's been on the road playing blackjack all over the country for many years and gambling has long been his sole source of income.

What I did not know (until I received a review copy of his book) was that he uses KO as his count system. That was surprising to me. Even though I have long recommended KO to new players, I always thought there was a small performance penalty to pay for the simplicity and convenience of KO. Other recent posts on this board have espoused the idea that KO may outperform Hi-Lo when you compare them "apples to apples". (That's a tricky thing to do by the way!) When I learned Daniel was a KO user, that was a shock.

Daniel's book describes his addition to KO which is a workable way to gain some of the advantage you could have with TKO (True-Counted KO).What is the easiest and most powerful card counting system? TKO as taught in "The Color of Blackjack". A bold statement that I was happy to confirm.

5.0 out of 5 stars Card Counting Made Easy, May 28, 2008

By	John Flanagan - See all my reviews

Years ago I attempted to read a card counting book but quickly put it down. The recnt movie "21" rekindled my curiousity and I decided to gamble on this DVD. Wow, did I come up a winner.
No extraneous fluff or distracting flashy stuff, this vidoe slowly and clearly explained exactly how it is done. It was all content and I got it. The presentation was very vivid, the charts immensely helpful, the audio was smooth and it was well paced. Not only was it obvious that Sarge is a professional gambler who has been around but I bet he has teaching experience.
The chapters have a logical flow. Chapter three is the meat. It exposes the mystery of card counting. He slowly, with very clear visuals, explains how to keep a running count. And instead of the dreaded division formula the running count is displayed onto a grapg divided into cold, warm and hot sections. A light bulb moment! A very novel concept those charts.
This DVD will appeak to the intellectually curious who want to know what is behind door number three-how it is done. Also, to those who aspire to give it a try this is a boot camp without the heavy math. You will learn exactly how to extract money from a casino. Sarge used an expression that stuck with me, "Become the David against the casino Goliaths". IO haven't thrown a stone yet, but one is in my hand.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Find!, May 31, 2008

By	Edward D. (New York, NY) - See all my reviews

Blackjack has been a hobby of mine for the past 10 years. I've read a lot of books, know a couple of different systems and made a little money over the years as a part timer. "Revolutionary system" did not mean much to me. I've seen that false promise all too often. But I was intrigued by the charts on the cover and the author's card counting experience, so I decided to put it in my library.

When he showed how the formulae could be laid out on a simple chart I kicked myself. Why didn't I think of that. I have read plenty of books and to my knowledge it has never been explained that way. This will lift the math nerd veil of mystery off of card counting. This system is very powerful in two respects: early entry and betting efficiency. It will bring home the bacon. If you want a quick and easy way to make money card counting this dvd will deliver.

5.0 out of 5 stars I can do this, June 2, 2008

By	Kevin D. - See all my reviews

Admittedly I was hesitant to venture into card counting but they promised easy and it was. The video moved along at a nice pace. I had no trouble picking up the concept. There was no distracting flashy visuals. The author stayed with the content.

My girlfriend was impressed with my cerebral venture. We watched it together one night and she jumped up and said "I can do this". We practiced together and now we have been making a little money as a team. You won't be disappointed with this video.
