Note the word Online in the title, This is not the card version,
By
This review is from: Winning Secrets of Online Blackjack (Paperback)
Although there is a description of how to play blackjack in this book, the main emphasis is, as the title says, ONLINE blackjack. While the basic rules of the game haven't changed, the fact that you have to go on line, sign up, give out information such as credit card numbers make the game just a little bit different.
This book is on those differences. The author talks about the various on line casinos, how to protect yourself from illegitimate operations as well as viruses, trojan horses, worms, etc. She lists about 170 casinos that she at least implies she has visited and found them to be worth recommending. It turns out that all the various casinos use software from a few software vendors. She lists these vendors and discusses some points about their software. Finally, these software packages, and consequently the casinos offer many different versions of the classical blackjack game. She goes into these differences and talks some about strategy to use with each. Note that on line casinos shuffle after each hand, so card counting won't work very well.

A great resource for any blackjack player, and the first book that's made me comfortable gambling onlne,
By CardFan (New York, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Winning Secrets of Online Blackjack (Paperback)
This is among the best gambling books I've seen. I like to think of myself as a knowledgeable, seasoned blackjack player, but until now I've hesitated to play in an online casino. The privacy concerns, legal questions, and especially the fear of being ripped off -- It all made me nervous. But this book put those fears to rest. That's not to say that it glosses over the risks; it discusses them in detail so you know how to steer clear of them. Beyond showing you what to avoid, it tells you what to look for in an online casino, in a style that's both easy to read and intelligently written. I'd also recommend the book's sections on strategy to any new player, as well as to experienced gamblers looking to refresh their skills.

A great tool for the "Moving to the Internet" player,
By OldTimerFeller "OldTimerFeller" (Hoboken, NJ) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Winning Secrets of Online Blackjack (Paperback)
If you've ever had any concerns about taking your Blackjack game to the "Brave New World" of online casinos, this is for you. This is a very well written book that helps make the transition from "over the table" player to "online player". It very wisely avoids going into too much detail on the basic "How to Play Blackjack" and instead focuses on "how to take your existing Blackjack knowledge Online". I've been playing the game for a long time and have made a fair amount of money in the casinos, but this book took my earning potential to a new level by detailing how I can win at online casinos from my own home. (fewer flights to Vegas and trips to AC!)A lot of step-by-step detail is provided where needed, but it also balances this with some light-hearted anecdotes and quotes. (a great touch!)
Personal ID Security is covered in a lot of detail, as are legalities and etiquette. Definitely worth getting!
