 simple and effective if you want March 1, 2010
S. Spencer (Seattle, WA USA)
If you want to learn about the game of blackjack and how to count cards and know different techniques about counting, I would recommend buying this book to get started on your blackjack career or if you play as a hobby. I guarantee that it will pay for itself the first couple hands you play at the casino. After studying blackjack for a few years now I would recommend this book along with "Blackjack Play Like The Pros" by John Bukofsky. These are excellent books to learn from.

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 1, 2006

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

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.
