Book Reviews…
Humble’s ‘World’s Greatest Blackjack Book’ Outlines Hi-Opt 1 Systemby Nick ChristensonHumble’s World’s Greatest Blackjack Book provides a complete description of the Hi-Opt 1 card counting strategy. If you ignore the out of date data on the casinos, ignore the hyperbole about dealer cheating, and realize that the Hi-Opt 1 is a good system, but not as good as the authors make it out to be, this is an excellent book. Mezrich’s ‘Bringing Down the House’ Chronicles MIT Card Counting Team’s Exploitsby Nick ChristensonBringing Down the House covers familiar material, the story of the victories and travails of a successful blackjack team competing against the casinos, but this one is written well enough to make the material seem fresher than I might have expected. This is the story of one of the infamous MIT blackjack teams written for a mass audience, which means that it’s probably not as detailed as serious blackjack students, myself included, might like. Still, it’ s entertaining, and well worth reading. Wong’s ‘Professional Blackjack’ Explores High-Low Count in Comprehensive Bookby Nick ChristensonThis is Wong’s exhaustive description of the High-Low count system. Anyone who has decided to use this system will definitely want this book, but if one is searching for which system to use, I’d recommend reading Wong’s Blackjack Secrets to evaluate the High-Low. However, even if one uses another count, this is a very useful book for any card counter, and it belongs on the shelf of every serious blackjack player. ‘Ken Uston on Blackjack’ Chronicles Card Counting Exploitsby Nick ChristensonThis book may not make you a much better Blackjack player, but it is highly informative and entertaining. Uston chronicles exciting stories of his team’s efforts at the Blackjack tables and describes the key events in his attempts to prevent casinos from barring card counters. If you enjoyed The Big Player or One-Third of a Shoe you’ll really enjoy this. Strongly recommended if you enjoy reading about card counting exploits.
