THE Classic Book On Blackjack,
Von Ein Kunde
Rezension bezieht sich auf: Beat the Dealer: A Winning Strategy for the Game of Twenty-One (Vintage) (Taschenbuch)
I totally disagree with the other reviewers who say this book is "no longer relevant". It is the definitive guide to Blackjack's "Basic Strategy" plus provides a fascinating historical perspective on how Thorp ran the computer simulations to develop the Basic Strategy and test it in Nevada casinos back in the early '60's. What the other reviewers say is true, that the methods Thorp used (card counting) to make a lot of money back in the '60's no longer work today, but that doesn't diminish the value of the book. The casinos were changing the rules and "shutting down" the big opportunities before Thorp even finished the book. But that isn't the measure of the value of the book (although it is testimony to how powerful Thorps's insights were when first developed). Everyone playing Blackjack (one deck or out of a shoe) should be playing "Basic Strategy" at a minimum. If you want to implement some other strategy on top of that (changing bet size, card counting, etc. etc.) have at it. But the starting point should be Basic Strategy. Furthermore, the average recreational Blackjack player should be playing Basic Strategy, but many (most? -- at the cheaper tables anyway) don't as you can observe by sitting down at any Blackjack table. This book should be read by anyone who wants to play Blackjack. Helfen Sie anderen Kunden bei der Suche nach den hilfreichsten Rezensionen

Excellent for historical perspective but of little use today,
Von Ein Kunde
Rezension bezieht sich auf: Beat the Dealer: A Winning Strategy for the Game of Twenty-One (Vintage) (Taschenbuch)
This is the book that started it all, at least for the "rest of us" who weren't mathematicians. It is a wonderful read, and excellent for historical information on what the game used to be like in Nevada.It is, however, useless to try to learn current playing skills from this book. It is simply too far out of date -- like trying to learn software engineering techniques from a book published around the same time, in the early 1960's. The state of the art has changed dramatically. Buy it only if you have already learned about the game and want to gain some perspective on the origins of card counting. For that, it's a "10".

Priceless,

I think some of the reviewers below are missing something: this is still an essential purchase. Much of the detail can't be found elsewhere. There are ideas here which can still be used to devastating effect on occassion. Most modern texts dwell on the dry detail of card-counting: Thorp has that kind of visionary mind which is always searching for the big score. In addition it reads like a thriller (and you would'nt believe some of the stuff Thorp could'nt put in!). The card-counting systems are obsolete now, but I very much doubt anyone would make it as a pro counter without familiarizing themselves with the material here.John May (Author of "Baccarat for the clueless") Helfen Sie anderen Kunden bei der Suche nach den hilfreichsten Rezensionen
