5.0 out of 5 stars A Truly Excellent Book For The Beginner, April 6, 2006
This review is from: Quick Guide to Winning Blackjack, 2nd Edition: 30 Minutes to Beating the House (Paperback)
Avery Cardoza does an excellent job of explaining the rules of the game and making Basic Strategy clear to the novice. His writing style makes the reader feel as though he's listening to a good friend. I would highly reccomend this book for the beginner-and if you want to learn how to count cards get Fred Renzeys' Blackjack Bluebook II. These two books combined will turn you into a very serious player!

2.0 out of 5 stars worth about 10 bucks, April 14, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Quick Guide to Winning Blackjack, 2nd Edition: 30 Minutes to Beating the House (Paperback)
like most blackjack books, its filled with basic info. but its a pretty decent book for someone who wants to learn the basic strategy, the rules and a little psychology advice when playing. for 10 bucks, its a decent enough pile of information, its a quick read and tells you what you need to know to play well. avery keeps trying to advertise his counting systems a little too much though. million dollar blackjack costs twice as much and has 100 times more info... and covers counting systems without shelling out an extra 100 bucks

5.0 out of 5 stars You've got to have this book if you wanna win!, December 26, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Wow, this is a simple, easy-to-read, fun and fast format. The author, Avery Cardoza, has been banned from casinos, but he's decided to share his mathematical knowledge to help us all become winners, too. It's not a big fat book, just cuts to the chase serving the meat and potatoes of exactly what to do, how to do it, and when. A highlight of the book is the five quizes strategically spread throughout the book.

Within the 4-5 months since I bought the book, I have read it at least 4 times (because you have to if you want to learn this stuff). And, now for the results. Although I haven't gotten to the point where I'm really betting big, it's just a matter of time. I have walked away ahead roughly 80%+ of the time, by following what is in the book exactly. By using Amazon, you pay less than half of the normal retail price I paid the first time I bought it. I bought more to give as gifts. Good luck! Rog
