Customer Reviews: Read 89 more reviews... One terrific blackjack book! November 20, 2008Rogue1 Read this book and Blackjack Bluebook II by Fred Renzey and you will be without a doubt one of the best blackjack players present in any casino you enter. That's not hype-that's the truth! Excellent overview December 2, 2006Konrad Baumeister Scoblete's Blackjack book doesn't have much that you can't find elsewhere, but he summarizes well, illustrates effectively, and writes in a breezy style which makes the whole book helpful and useful. The technical stuff is well presented; basic strategy isn't going to change from book to book unless the rules do, but it is well presented here. Likewise, the overview of all the various counts and systems is excellent and worth the price of the book itself. Further, I thought it was greatly to his credit that he admits most of the multilevel counts just aren't worth the mental effort and risk of making mistakes, a recommends a simple (but effective) count for the reader. Too many authors push their own counts which work if you happen to be a math savant but aren't as useful to the average player. There is a chapter of minor tricks of the trade which is pretty good, and there are interviews with successful counters and team leaders/members. Scoblete tosses in a lot of road warrior blackjack stories, all well told, most of them funny, and genuinely enjoys the people part of the game. It's also to his credit that he doesn't brag about how high he plays, how much he makes - no, he says straight out that he makes much more money from writing books on blackjack than on playing it. Blackjack is a fun and thrilling way of having a shot at making a bit of extra money, if one plays very well, while enjoying the rest of life as well. A particularly mature and refreshing attitude! Overall there is a wealth of hard information here, and tons of material of interest to both the serious and casual blackjack player. If you are to read only one book, this would be a great choice. Poorly Laid August 21, 2005"Daniel Jackson" (Amarillo, Texas) 1 out of 8 found this review helpful A quikie indeed. I got it and it was over. A poorly laidout book. The material may be too exciting to stay with it longer than a minute. Best Blackjack is Just That!!! May 14, 2005Ted James (California) This is a great blackjack book with good analysis and great personal insights and stories. Best Blackjack is Blackjack's Best December 28, 20031 out of 2 found this review helpful This book has everything you need to know to go from a novice to an advantage player, one who plays with an edge over the casinos.
