Blackjack D

I have played recreational casino Blackjack for nearly fifty years. I keep current on Blackjack literature and understand the Theory of Blackjack. The problem with most expert analysis of the game is that once they gave average players Basic Strategy, they forgot about us. The experts turned their attention to various card counting systems and other forms of advantage play. This book is for the thousands of Basic Strategy Blackjack players who do not understand where that level of skill will bring them after several hundred hours of play. What effect, if any, do Stop Loss techniques and Progressive Betting regimen have on outcomes? Is Basic Strategy always the best method for playing all hands? What does convergence on expected outcomes look like over the long run? What other factors besides playing and betting strategy affect long term results? This book fills a vacuum in the Blackjack literature. The experts won't tell you. The casinos sure as hell won't. Let a veteran Blackjack player fill you in.

This book is for the beginner or recreational Blackjack player who wants to enjoy playing without being intimidated. If one has the discipline to follow the strategies presented, one can actually come out a winner. The title, The A, B, Cs and D of Casino Blackjack identifies it as a primer for beginners rather than promising riches to professional gamblers. This book provides a conservative approach, and will help you avoid the simple mistakes that cause players to lose in the long run. It is amazing how many players do not bring enough bankroll, bet consistently, understand Basic Strategy or practice good money management. This light and punchy guide can be read in one sitting and understood and applied by anyone with an interest in the game. It should appeal to the one time tourist or occasional visitor to a casino or cruise ship who wants to try their hand at Blackjack. Also, someone wanting to take up Blackjack as a recreational sport on a regular basis would be interested in this book. In fact, even seasoned players may well benefit from getting back to basics. The book uses simple language to explain the probability theory behind Basic Strategy and the potential advantage of counting cards. It also explains how things work on the casino floor as well as table etiquette so players wont make embarrassing mistakes. The major premise is to take the intimidation out of sitting down to play. This book does not promise riches but does promote having fun without losing any of your hard earned money.

Arnold Snyder needs no introduction. One of the seven original members of the Blackjack Hall of Fame, he’s a prolific author of blackjack books, former publisher of the prestigious Blackjack Forum, and a blackjack advantage player extraordinaire. In his first book in many years, Arnold is back with what is shaping up to be his greatest work ever. Radical Blackjack is a memoir, how-to, and exposé all wrapped up in a single book. From his life as a starving letter carrier to making $100,000 bets that he could only win by losing, this is a story that blackjack aficionados and gambling enthusiasts have wanted for decades. And it’s all true. Snyder details his adventures in hole carding and shuffle tracking, milking loss rebates; exploiting online casino bonuses and affiliate deals; using camouflage so effective that pit bosses considered him the world’s worst blackjack player; playing on teams and with investor money, and maximizing results when playing with partners; while topping it all off with miscellaneous stories so wild they don’t fit into any chapter! If you read only one gambling book this year, Radical Blackjack should be it.
