The World's Greatest Blackjack Book

Such a cool book to own, saw it on "The Hangover" movie. Although the book was written many years ago, the content is timeless and has a lot of different methods

Got this as a Christmas gift for my son who likes to play blackjack and he loves it and stays it has some great tips and advice and strategies to use (had to remind him though the house always wins). Lots of useful information

This book teaches you everything you need to know to become a winning card counter. Its detailed step-by-step instructions on how to go from novice to expert blackjack player are timeless and priceless (especially all the progressive practice techniques). The most crucial aspects of dealing with running count, true count, % advantage and bet size are deeply and thoroughly explained. Though older, the specific system it recommends (Hi Opt 1) is arguably still as good as other level 1 systems out there, but you could substitute any other one for it and the lessons would still be just as valuable. The math and methods used are solid and mathematically certain. In 1990, I personally followed this guide almost to the letter, and ran $200 into $5,000 over a dozen weekend trips to Nevada (granted single decks games were much more prominent at the time). I still consistently win 30 years later. At the time it was published, this was without a doubt properly titled as The World's Greatest Blackjack Book. It would be great to see an updated edition, since it’s filled with many now-obsolete details(such as specific rules in various cities and countries). Until then, I recommend you just skip those parts and you've still got a 5-star book.

This is a great book! It teaches you a lot of the basics of blackjack and gives you information about a lot of casinos in different parts of the world. Sadly, all of the information is outdated. Also, it feels like a grandfather teaching. Story after story after story that the reader might not care about. On the plus side, the first few chapters about the basics of blackjack is golden, and so is the author's basic strategy. And it does teaches you the high opt I method of counting cards which is not the best one to learn since there's been new methods that's been created since the release of this book.

Helps on learning hi low.

I wanted a quick and easy read - this was not it! It's a pretty long and complicated book. Much too long for me to read or hold my interest. I am not a serious gambler and just wanted to learn some basics and get a few pointers. I don't think it's for beginners or people who only have a passing interest in learning to play Blackjack. This book is highly detailed/technical. It would be good for someone who is a very serious Blackjack player.

I bought this to study up on my blackjack because I hadn’t played in a long time. Because I was going to a party I needed to brush up on it. It was a 70th birthday surprise party for a friend and they had a casino night. I almost won. The prizes was between me and another guy.

For anyone interested in learning more about the game, you will learn something by reading this book. Great stuff about cheating dealers and what to look for at casinos and how to pick a system to use to enhance your play. Also, as others have mentioned, the casino data is outdated, but still good to see what it was like when the book was written. Lots of other nuggets in the book as well. I will be using this book as a reference tool for years to come. Highly recommended!!

È un libro molto avvincente ottimi consigli sia per un giocatore professionista o anche per uno amatoriale lo consiglio a chiunque .

Its card counting is pre dated.

I had no idea about card counting but this book is very good. I would recommend this book. This is the book they used on The Hangover and it does work. I've tried it out online first of all and going to Vegas in August

Alles OK
