3 comments about The Ultimate Blackjack Book: Playing Blackjack With Multiple Decks.

1. This is a good book for newcomers to the world of Blackjack but should NOT be considered a thorough review of the game. Mr. Early presents only one method of counting cards which may or may not be the most effective for the myriad of Blackjack rules and games available. I was expecting more. A much more useful tome is BEST BLACKJACK by Frank Scoblete. It thoroughly explains not only the gory details (if you want them) of Blackjack geeks but also the easiest methods to maximize your odds of winning if you are, like me, a casual player



2. This is one of the very few books which emphasizes the reasoning behind mathematical results; knowing WHY plays are made is the first step to memorizing those plays. The book is excellent for those who face six-to-eight deck shoes. Only one counting method is presented, but others are referenced in the bibliography. For the low price required, it has paid for itself over and over again in superior play. I highly recommend this for everyone interested in 21.



3. I found the book to be an excellent primer. Early begins by walking the reader through basic blackjack play and strategy. He has chapters on card counting, fallacies, and the reasoning and math behind the basic strategies. He includes several appendices with interesting facts and math tables to help the player. I suppose that their are books that delve deeper into blackjack arcania and card counting methods but my guess is that this book will be more than enough for anyone but the most serious player.
