5 comments about Winning Casino Blackjack For The Non-Counter, 3rd Edition.

1. When I made my first trip to Las Vegas over 10 years ago, I was lucky enought to find this book in the bookstore, insightful enough to buy it and terrified enough of losing money to read it and put it into practice. Since that time I've play tens of thousands of hands of blackjack in casinos all over the Western Hemisphere. I've also bought and read lots of other books on Blackjack. This one is without question the best.

   It gives good introductory information on how to play winning blackjack. It covers basic strategy, money management and other fundamentals in a clear, concise way. He explains the strategy in such a way that it's easy to understand and REMEMBER. And he leaves out a lot of the non-sense and self promotion garbage you get in a lot of other books.

   Even though I have a rather large library of blackjack books now, I still find myself throwing this one into my bag to read as a refresher on the plane trip to Vegas.

   It's not meant to be the be-all-end-all book on blackjack and it shouldn't be judged as if it were. There will come a point, if you get serious enough about the game, that you'll want a more advanced book. This is the best book I've found however to give you the "blocking and tackling" fundamentals of blackjack.




2. This book helped me incredibly understand the odds and help beat the casino at their games. I recommend it.



3. Nothing more than an advertisement for his expensive mail-order non-counter strategies. The strategy he claims to present in this book is misrepresented as a non-counting strategy, when in fact it is (he basically says estimate the number of high cards remaining by watching which cards have been played, which is the definition of counting). If you want the actual non-counter strategy, you have to shell out $50 for a mail-order packet. Stay away.



4. Winning Casino Blackjack for the Non-Counter is a great strategy book for blackjack beginners. It gives comprehensive charts detailing which moves to make, but more importantly, explains the charts in understandable language.
   
   I've tried other blackjack books, but they all just gave charts with no explanations. This one explains each move so you understand exactly why you make it, which makes it easier to remember at the casino!
   
   This is the first blackjack book I ever used and it was a great starting point. Since then I've gone through a few more books and at my times at the casino, I made a killing! I highly recommend this book for anyone looking to start playing this game.



5. This is a good reference for non-counting BJ player.

3 comments about Q's Baccarat the System (Q's Baccarat Winning Strategies).

1. "the time period between 7 o'clock in the evening and 7 in the next morning is when tied hands come out most frequently". That is what the author writes at the very beginning of his book. You see how ridiculous it is! Besides this, there are many other "INTERESTING" things inside. Don't play with this system, unless you are a very lucky guy!



2. If you like books that don't make any sense, then by all means buy this book. It is bad enough that studies have shown that it is nearly impossible to gain an edge a baccarat through card-counting (including one written by Edward O. Thorp), but this book will instill a sense of false confidence in anyone foolish enough to believe that Q's theory is true. If the systems in this book worked, the rules of baccarat would either have to be changed or the game would cease to exist. It is amazing that a publishing company would even bother to publish such drivel!



3. I have studied Qiu's tie patterns and have won a considerable amount of money at Baccarat with them. You must, of course be cautious and sit out some shoes. But, when the shoe is proper, you can get paid handsomely for your study and courage.
   Practice with $5.00 bets or on the computer until you
   understand the system. I have correctly predicted ties as
   many as 16 hands in advance.

1. In case you're wondering what the book is about...
   Tedro Ames has lost his ranch and his sweetheart to his devil-may-care antics. He must either redeem himself, or resign himself to a future as the laughing stock of the Swiftwater area.
   A gang of ruthless blackmailers is terrorizing the town and leaving black aces with their ransom notes. Tedro gets a "Black Ace," and when he meets up with another black ace victim, blacksmith Henry Kline, he knows what he must do. He'll prove himself worthy of his neighbors and of his love by unmasking the "Black Ace" Gang.
