3.0 out of 5 stars Winning Blackjack Review, April 24, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Winning Blackjack For The Serious Player (Paperback)

For the beginning player, this book may not be a bad choice, because it contains charts for different rule variations of the game. Also, basic counting strategies. For the serious player I would recommend Lawrence Revere or Ken Usted. The strategies in this book wouldn't hurt a casual player though, who doesn't have time or desire to invest in learning a professional level system.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly recommend it, July 26, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Winning Blackjack For The Serious Player (Paperback)

Ive purchased this book over a year ago and it has done wonders for my play at BlackJack.It's a simple system that makes sense for every logical move and straight to the point.And it works.My last trip out to Atlantic city at the Trump Taj Mahal I started with $200 at the beginning of the shoe.. Was me and the dealer one on one in a multiple deck game since there is a no midshoe entry rule at the Taj.Half hour later at the end of the shoe I walked away with $1,300 for a profit of $1,100.You dont need a complicated "professional" system to be one up on the game and casinos'.Anyone who wants to learn the game and not spend alot of money on "complicated professional systems" that are usualy not proven to be consistent winning strategies and want to learn a winning system should buy this book.I highly recommend buying and reading this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for "serious" recreational players, October 24, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Winning Blackjack For The Serious Player (Paperback)

If you want to give card counting a try in Atlantic City, you can play well enough to scare the casinos after reading this book (and practicing). Even if you don't want to count, the basic strategy charts make this book worth purchasing. If you play like most people I see in Atlantic City, it will pay for itself in your first 10 minutes at the table. I've never played in Vegas so I can only recommend it for the Atlantic City game.
