Blackjack Bluebook II: the simplest winning strategies ever published
by Fred Renzey
Customer Reviews
Explained Technical Points Very Well, April 4, 2005
Reviewer: Barto (Memphis, TN USA)
This is the first technical book on blackjack I was able to understand. Other books were either too basic to be helpful, or too complex to grasp. I feel I got a lot of new understanding from this book. It was very sensible and convincing in its effective writing style and examples. The author has a way with words. It got me to change the way I play.
Valuable Manual for the Experienced Player, March 15, 2005
Reviewer: Ben
For someone who is looking to progress beyond plain basic strategy, I thought the book was very helpful. Lots of "murky" so-called blackjack axioms that were just mental "sticky points" got clearly explained. The Ace/10 Front Count is just the kind of casual thing I was looking for to take my game up a level, without getting too serious. It is truly easy to use at the table, unlike the technical counting systems I have seen. Great book for polishing up one's game.

Blackjack for the Clueless: A Beginner's Guide to Playing and Winning
by Walter Thomason
Customer Reviews
I was clueless, January 9, 2004
Reviewer: J. D. Minium "The bookster" (Hawaii)
I picked up this book in anticipation of heading off to Nevada for vacation, and wow it really does lay it all out and explains everything in simple to understand jargon. I'm glad I started with it. I've been practicing playing over and over, and I'm pleased to report that (on paper) I am thousands of dollars ahead. The dealer I'm playing with (my hubby) is threatening to bar me from the casino (the breakfast room)!
Even an experienced player will learn from this book!, April 11, 1999
Reviewer: A reader
I've been a blackjack player for many years and have read quite a few books on the subject...this is one of the most helpful books I've read! The author not only knows a lot about the game, he is also a very entertaining writer. I've tried the betting system he recommends, and so far it's working great! I now win a lot more than I lose!!! Every blackjack player will enjoy reading this fine book.

Have no doubt - this is the best BJ book ever written!!, January 10, 2001
Reviewer: moshe davidovich (tel aviv, Israel)
Do you imagine yourself going from a complete beginner to world class expert in one book plus knowing almost all there is about the game? well, you came to the right place. carlson's book is not only the best blackjack book i've read (and i've read a lot!) but it is also the most enjoyable one (along with ken houston's "million dollar blackjack"). no matter what are your goals - being a world class expert or just enjoying while improving in social games - this is the best book to do it.

Knock-Out Blackjack: The Easiest Card-Counting System Ever Devised
by Olaf Vancura, Ken Fuchs
Spotlight Reviews
From a beginner?s prospective, February 19, 2001
Reviewer: David G. Phillips (New York, NY USA)
This is the first book I have ever read about blackjack and gambling. I know, as many of you already do, that Blackjack does afford the player the best advantage out of any game in the casino. I have never sat down at a Blackjack table because I knew that without knowing the proper counting and basic strategy techniques, the house would always win in the long run. I had read on the Internet of various card-counting methodologies, however they all seemed to complicated and discouraging to ever consider seriously proceeding with (unless of course I had a degree from MIT, which I don't.)
Alas, I read a review of Knock-Out in the Chicago Sun-Times, which alluded to my concerns over difficulty. This book is straightforward and interesting to read, and the card-counting technique is regarded as being simple to use comparatively to other popular techniques. Even though, admittedly, this will take some practice, I am confident I can master Knock-Out with enough patience and I am not discouraged to the point of not bothering to try. I did find it somewhat surprising how much money and time is needed to have an satisfactory amount of return with relatively low risk (the fact that you start to max your betting with only a 2% advantage over the house is a testament to this fact.) Nevertheless, the book only took a couple of days to read, and it was truly hard to set down. Even though this is the first Blackjack book I have ever read, from a beginner's prospective, I wholeheartedly recommend this book. Wish me luck!
