5.0 out of 5 stars 80% Win Rate!, May 14, 2001

This review is from: Advantage Blackjack (Paperback)
This book introduces a really good winning system that anyone can use.

There are many blackjack books out there. Nearly every one of them advocates using a card counting system. For many years blackjack authors have attempted to create more sophisticated counting systems. The result is that most of these systems are almost impossible to use under real casino conditions.

Advantage Blackjack introduces a highly simplified count, which anyone can use. In addition, the author demonstrates a practical progressive betting system that works very well.

I have been using this strategy for several months with excellent results. I have been winning close to 80% of my sessions, which I could never do with other counting systems.

The Advantage Strategy will not satisfy blackjack theoreticians. But trust me, it really works. Forget the complex counting strategies and try this one. You'll be glad you did!

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible book!, June 13, 2000
By 
Robert Adams (Minneapolis, MN) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Advantage Blackjack (Paperback)
I found this book to be one of most helpful I have ever read on how to really win at blackjack. If you are looking for a book with page after page of charts you are supposed to memorize, then you won't like this book.

The author presents a powerful simplified count strategy that I learned in less than a week. Other systems require months and months of practice.

In addition to the easy-to-learn count, I really appreciated the betting strategy. Most blackjack authors only concern themselves with the spread, i.e. varying your bets from one to four units or even ten units. The author, Roger Ford, explains that counting and using a conventional betting spread will get labeled as a "card counter" allowing the casino to barr you at the worst, or deal you a miserable game at best. The Advantage Betting Strategy is virtually unrecognizable to casino pit personnel and using it will give you the best chance of winning.

If you want lots of theory, read a different book. If you want to learn how to really win, try this one. I strongly urge those who want to gain the upper hand at blackjack tables to read this book.

P.S. On my first trip out trying this system, I won over $500. Not a lot, but I can see the potential.

5.0 out of 5 stars Want to win $1,000 a day?, August 1, 2000
By 
This review is from: Advantage Blackjack (Paperback)
There is no doubt you can win at blackjack using this strategy. It is just outstanding.

The author uses a much simplified card count system to identify favorable betting situations. This is by far the easiest and most effective count I have ever seen. But the strategy goes much further than simply introducing another card counting system.

The author, Roger Ford, reveals a dynamic betting strategy that will put you way over the top at blackjack. Combined with his simplified card count, it produces the most consistent winnings I have ever seen at blackjack.

I have been using the Advantage Blackjack strategy and racking up win after win. My win rate is just phenomenal and my losses have been very low. If you want to win consistently, even against the monster Atlantic City eight decks, you must use this strategy.

If you email them they might respond once and tell you that your refund was submitted to your credit card and it is your credit card companies fault you have not got your refund. Dont be scammed like me and many others. Never purchase any publishings by Martin J. Silverthorne.

1.0 out of 5 stars Life is hard!, May 12, 2000
This review is from: Advantage Blackjack (Paperback)
Trust me....life is hard! Dont make it harder by buying this book. Blackjack is a very difficult game to win money from. This book will simply lose you money. If you really really want to try to win money at the casino, try Poker. If you must try Blackjack get a proper book like Bryce Carlson; Lance Humble; Wong etc

I gave this book one star a) Because I am a very generous person b) Because at least the book was mercifully short & c) Because Amazon made me!
