Book Description

July 2003
This new Blackjack Basic (Playing) Strategy card for 1 Deck is a blackjack player's dream come true. The laminated, six-panel, tri-fold card with rounded corners devotes four panel sides to covering the possible rule combinations of allowing or not allowing doubling down after a split, and the dealer hitting or standing on soft 17. Thus the card contains four playing strategies to allow you to choose the correct playing strategy for the rules that are in effect where you play.

The strategies display color-coded decision cells in addition to showing the text of the decision so you can choose which way you learn best. Also, each strategy panel is section-coded to facilitate learning the most important decisions first. Surrender is included among the decisions, and footnotes provide alternatives when decisions are not allowed. The 3.5" x 5" panel size makes possible larger text than on other strategy cards and three-letter (not confusing one-letter) decision abbreviations, yet the card still fits in your pocket.

End panels, which contain slits, are designed to fold in both directions and to lay flat to make it easy for you to quickly refer to the strategy you wish to use. One panel contains a pithy, insightful discussion of the playing decisions to help new players learn how to play the game; another panel provides a table which shows the House Edge for each of four rule combinations.

About 99% of blackjack players do not use the correct Basic Strategy. By using this Blackjack 6·7·8 strategy card, players will now be able to play almost even with the house.

Blackjack 6-7-8 strategy cards are also available for 2 Decks, 4-8 Decks, and Counter (as in "Card Counter") Basic, 4-8 Decks. In addition, the titles of the four different cards are color-coded (red, purple, blue, and green) so you can easily and quickly distinguish one card from another.

By A Customer
This review is from: Blackjack Basic (Playing) Strategy, 1 Deck (Cards)
These four basic strategy cards fit in your shirt pocket yet contain everything you need to optimize your odds under virtually all table conditions. Cards work for 1, 2, and 4-8 deck games covering most variations of house rules. Give yourself the best chance to beat the casino. Use these cards and experience how much fun blackjack can be when you play like the pros.

5.0 out of 5 stars Math not luck, September 22, 2003
By 
Cooter (Menasha, WI United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Blackjack Basic (Playing) Strategy, 1 Deck (Cards)
Las Vegas has a saying, "players depend on luck, casinos depend on math". Well, here's your chance to almost even those odds to within 1/2%. These blackjack strategy cards (all 4 for 1, 2, or 4-8(2) decks) do the math for you and stretch your money a long, long way. You will get your money back in the first hour of play and wish you had had them a long time ago. If you play blackjack, this is the one item you should take with you. And you don't even have to think, pretty nice ugh.

This review is from: Blackjack Basic (Playing) Strategy, 1 Deck (Cards)
Cards were as described, excellent quality and recommended for those lesrning BJ basic strategy. A great help. I also recommend Patrick's book and DVD "Blackjack for the 21st Century", A newer look at basic strategy with an eye to "minimizing losses", as he says. Great!
