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

By 

John Flanagan - See all my reviews

This review is from: Card Counting - The Definitive Blackjack Course (DVD)

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.

3.0 out of 5 stars KO with an edge, December 13, 2010

By 

Criz Romero (Tacoma, WA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Card Counting - The Definitive Blackjack Course (DVD)

Daniel Dravot explains his simplified card counting technique using KO without the complicated math conversions. The info is presented in a simple and logical breakdown of concepts not to overwhelm but to teach and instruct.

I thought that the presentation was okay. It has good information although a bit awkward and slow at times - one chart was displayed upside down - go figure. Q&A videos included. Its not magic and you are still gambling, but definitely worth the money to understand blackjack basic concepts and an effective card counting technique - especially when you move from cold to warm to hot when an advantage is revealed in the game.

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

By 

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

This review is from: Card Counting - The Definitive Blackjack Course (DVD)

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.
