Must have book for beginner blackjack players,
By A Customer
This review is from: Beat the Dealer: A Winning Strategy for the Game of Twenty-One (Mass Market Paperback)
The basic strategy can be learned in just a few days of practicing. The high/low method of counting can be learned just as easily. When you combine the two, and vary your bets accordingly, the house no longer has an advantage.I used the basic strategy and the high/low count methods taught in THIS BOOK only, and stuck strictly to the strategy one weekend. I started with $250.00 betting $10 per hand and won over $20,000 in 17 hours. By the end I was playing three hands at a time of $250 minimum on each hand. I was amazed at how well the strategy worked for me. The book is wonderful and entertaining even if you don't plan to play any. The stories are great. Highly recommend it.

Fantastic,

This review is from: Beat the Dealer: A Winning Strategy for the Game of Twenty-One (Mass Market Paperback)
This book explains the history of how card counting started and details the strategy that he used. I think the book is interesting cause it is not just a manual on how to count cards it also tells a story on how Mr. Thorp tested his theory in vegas.If you like this book I would also recommend getting "Bringing the house down" which is a book about some people that utilized Mr. Thorps techniques to win a lot of money if vegas.
