Beat the Dealer by Edward O. Thorp (1966, Paperback, Revised)

Book was a bit more worn than anticipated, but "functional" as far as books go...in the future, I would ask the vendor about details of the book's condition.

Great Book For An Amateur Gambler! I Read And Studied These Techniques And Hit The Casino. Boy Did I Hit Big It Tripled My Winnings Within The First Week! I Recommend This Book To Anyone Who Wants to Learn And Win! Great Book!

The book that made Las Vegas change the rules ..that sounds nice ..isn't it ? ..and it is ..really it is a great book that mathematically proves how to beat the dealer ..
But stop dreaming... the book is using differnet strategies that will only cut the house advantage and sometimes gives you the higher ground (we talk about procents like 2 3 % not 20 or 30 ). Blackjack is still a matter of luck ... but using things from this book you can optimize your play for your own benfit .
The book it very easy to understand and I think you woun't have problems in applying what have you read .
Although more than 40 years since it was published ..and casinos have changed things like using 6 decks or more in a play ..or automatic machines for shuffling increasing their advantage once more .. you can use still use the things from the book , making your play better .

Not bad, I haven't finished yet, but sounds good.
I read a few pages every week, so , I cant tell you buy it or not.
at least you learn more about the game if you like it!!!!!!!!!!!

A must read for blackjack players. I bought the book in preparation for a trip to Las Vegas in Febuary. I have used very similar systems for many years. I will add the tips I gathered from this book on my next trip to Nevada.
