Five Blackjack Books You Don't Want to Miss
These are my top choices for Blackjack
books, short listed from the pack by my selection. As to whether you are
a beginner or a professional who is planning to take on this game full
time, I am sure to have a book for you in this list. From now on, whenever
you browse at a bookstore for blackjack books, these are the ones that
you need to look out for:
1. Blackjack Bluebook II - the simplest
winning strategies ever published (2006 edition) This book is not all that
hard to understand and as such is good for beginners, in addition it points
out the strategy of the game with a strategy chart as well. The hand play
revision is quite neatly explained with the various illustrations and the
author manages to explain the various versions of this game quite well.
The various myths surrounding this game are debunked here quite effectively.
This book sets out to explain the
counting system in detail along with computer stimulation results. The
various plays and maneuvers as well as many out-of-the-box moves are all
pointed out in this book, something that I have not seen many other beginner
books do. This book features over 40 useful charts as well as some 60 odd
illustrated hand plays.
2. Blackjack Blueprint: How to Play
like a Pro... Part-Time (Paperback)
This book definitely deserves 5
stars for its take on the issue of card counting. It introduces one to
the basic strategy as well as the card counting based on the Stanford Wong's
Hi-Lo system and points out the method by which one can tailor ones play
and the bet amount to the card counting. Card counting takes up more than
half the book and the other half is not all that scintillating. Even though
this book is labeled as part time, there are portions in it that would
make more sense to a professional blackjack player than anybody else. This
book contains sections on plays like ‘zone tracking’ as well as strategies
for reducing the negative swing during the course of ones play. This book
is definitely a ‘must read’ for your trip to Atlantic City, but just make
sure that you read the book in advance of it.
3. Blackjack For Blood: The Card-Counters'
Bible, and Complete Winning Guide (Paperback)
.Humor makes it fun to read a book
and that is the case here, as this book has a strong element of humor in
it. It showcases several relevant anecdotes that make it interesting to
read this book. This book also highlights several ‘below the belt’ tricks
that are legal and ones that a player can use to win more money from the
house. This book delves into the counting system and gets detailed with
both the math and the strategy part of it. This book is definitely not
for the beginners.
4. Professional Blackjack (Paperback)
This book is not for the beginners and is more in taste of the semi pros
as well as the pros. It provides an in-depth explanation of the card counting
strategies as well as results that one can anticipate from such strategies.
This book also showcases the fact that making money at blackjack is not
easy but also shows you the way to do it. Some may call this book a bit
antiquated but it is still effective and relevant today. Before you leave
your job for this game, it may be a good idea to read this book so as to
get a hang of it.
5. Blackbelt in Blackjack: Playing
21 as a Martial Art Arnold Snyder, one of the grandmasters of blackjack
had himself authored this book, and as such it is aimed more at the professionals
than anybody else. This book explains some of the tricks that Snyder had
himself used, like shuffle tracking, team play, multiple decks and camouflage
techniques. In addition to that, this book also goes into card counting
as well as the different card counting systems. It provides all the details
that one would need with regard to the deadly red 7 count, the hi-lo count,
the zen count, the true count, and so much more. There it is, you can now
pick one of these up in relation to your blackjack skills and have a good
time the next time you find yourself at Atlantic City.
