Best Blackjack

Summary: Give yourself a chance to win - Great!
Review: I went from being a blackjack chump who consistently lost plenty of money to almost always winning. You can't beat a hot dealer sometimes, but over the long run using basic strategy and even simple card counting, you will win. Great book. All my gambling friends keep borrowing it from me even though they have other blackjack books.

Summary: Title is Accurate, Best Blackjack is Just That
Review: I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Frank Scoblete has a very pleasing writing style and he is able to make even the most difficult concepts seem easy. He explains in an understandable way why blackjack is a potentially beatable game and then goes on to describe which blackjack games are worth playing and which are not. There are chapters on many of the new blackjack variations and also on how to play as a team. Scoblete's insights and his humor are first rate. I particularly enjoyed the sections about the "Million Dollar Bum, "The Ploppy from Hell" and his "blackjack diary" that goes over about three weeks of play in Las Vegas. This book is a definite must have book if you want to learn and even if you just want to have a good reading experience.

Summary: Good for New Players and Pros Alike
Review: Frank Scoblete's "Best Blackjack" is a very comprehensive book that explores all you need to know to become a competent basic strategy and advantage player. Scoblete is a magnificent writer who can weave anecdotes and stories around the stratgeies so that the book is never dull or pedantic. I think players of all skill levels will find enough here to make the purchase of the book a very worthwhile expense. I think that anyone who goes to casinos and who has not read something by Frank Scoblete is missing out on a great experience.

Summary: This is the BEST Blackjack Book
Review: I have thoroughly enjoyed my blackjack experiences since I bought this book almost two years ago. I have won money using the easy to learn card counting system that Scoblete teaches and I have gotten a load of comps. This book was a lot of fun to read so you get knowledge and entertainment from it. Scoblete is the best gambling writer in the universe!

Summary: I'm a Pro and I Liked This Book
Review: I am currently working my way through graduate school in California by playing blackjack in Las Vegas for fairly big stakes. I have read all the blackjack writers such as Wong, Schlesinger, Snyder, Griffin, Vancura and Fuchs and others but I have stayed away from Scoblete because of criticism of his work by some other writers. I wished I hadn't. First of all, the guy can write a great book. For sheer writing talent he is unequaled in gambling writing. He captured what it is really like to play blackjack in a real casino for real money. His experiences smack of truth because I've been there and done that! His advice for the recreational counters is excellent and while this isn't the most advanced blackjack book by any means, it is an excellent read for professionals and amateurs. I especially liked his discussion of tells which I think is the best I've ever read, even better than Steve Forte's work. The book might not add to a professional's bottom line since tell-play is almost over in BJ, but if you like reading blackjack, this book is just great. I think it ranks very high in the blackjack literature and has not yet gotten the accolades it deserves.
