5.0 out of 5 stars My personal "Blackjack Bible", April 1, 2001

By	"heilxmq" (Cape Girardeau, MO United States) - See all my reviews

This is my favorite book out of all the blackjack books I've read. (I've read The World's Greatest Blackjack Book, Blackjack for Blood, Beat the Dealer, Professional Blackjack and Playing Blackjack As a Business)

The counting systems mentioned in this book work. I've been using the Uston Advanced Plus/Minus count for over 5 years now and have an awesome winning record. The Uston Advanced Point Count is also outlined in this book (It's extremely complicated though.)

I would recommend this book to anyone who is serious about counting cards or anyone who wants a really entertaining read.

5.0 out of 5 stars The "Bible" of Winning Blackjack - PERIOD, January 18, 1999

By A Customer

Million Dollar Blackjack is THE book on the subject. Ken Uston has won more money than anyone else has and has been known as "Mr. Blackjack" for this reason. Aside from this, the book is enjoyable, understandable, and makes learning ANY count method easy to learn. A good player can easily use his information to make the Hi Opt II or Zen Unbalanced counts their vehicle to riches. Flash cards make the memory work a breeze, and give every player a better than even chance to make money against even the difficult multideck games of today. You are taught to avoid certain games and evaluate each game before you buy in and go for the kill. Learn how you can travel for next to nothing and play 1 and 2 deck games that still exist today with good rules. Ken tells you how. Covers everything from playing the game for fun to making a living at it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book...Dated at times, but hilarious, August 24, 2000

This review is from: Million Dollar Blackjack (Hardcover)

Ken Uston (God rest his soul) was the KING of 21 during the 1970s and early 1980s. Million Dollar Blackjack is a masterpiece of the game, and the scene around it in Las Vegas and A-City during that time. Many casinos have knocked out single- and double-deck games, moving to 6 and 8 deck shoes. Uston did not have to deal with that back in the day; yet his stories about fighting off Griffin agents, pit bosses, and squirrly female dealers are the stuff of legends. The stories in this book pay for the price itself. As for the blackjack knowledge, the card counting pages are excellent, and while the comps information is 20 years too late, it still makes for interesting reading.
