Summary: It Really Works!!!
Review: After one easy read, I had a solid grip on Pappadopolos' theory. He breaks his Blackjack winning strategy down into five digestible Rules - each one of which is not only simple to grasp but stimulating to try. Since his "Hidden Secrets" were developed over time and are based upon table-tested per centages, anyone who reads and practices his five Rules will have a much more satisfying, fun and profitable time at the Blackjack table.The content in this book is invaluable to anyone who would like to enhance their gaming skills and of course, increase thier wins.

Summary: I finally Won!
Review: Being a Vegas local I constantly find myself testing my luck at the tables. Until I read George's book I had been unsuccessful. But now I win almost every time. The system works if you follow it and now I use it every time I play. This book could very well be the best investment I have ever made. Thanks!

Summary: Useful, but overly simplistic
Review: Blackjack's Hidden Secrets is all about basic strategy, something everyone should learn before they hit a blackjack table. I read this book, and Avery Cardoza's "Quick Guide to Winning Blackjack" simultaneously, I found Cardoza's to be the far superior book. "Hidden Secrets" is simplistic to the extreme, with no new information not already found in "Quick Guide". The strategy charts in "Hidden Secrets" are all based on Atlantic City, whereas "Quick Guide" contains separate charts for Vegas and Northern NV as well, since rules differ slightly in all three places. Also, despite Pappadopoulos' claim to be based on mathematical formulas, he still relies on alot of old gambler superstitions, like spotting a "hot" table, and placing bets according to whether or not you are on a "winning streak". I find his advice on how much to place risky as well. I've been practicing using this method, but limiting my bets to no more than four times the minimum (Cardoza's advice), and in 100 games I am up 104%.
Pass on "Blackjack's Hidden Secrets" (both I and II), invest in a few Cardoza books instead.

Summary: I WON BIG!
Review: George is the real deal and this book is the ticket! I was skeptical at first, but I went into the casino here in Vegas and tested it out. WOW! I have now won 6 times in a row following his system. I'm now a converted card counter and would HIGHLY reccomend this book to anyone who wants to make money, have fun and not try and count every card coming out of the shoe. One quick warning: when you buy this book follow the system EXACTLY. Do not freelance and try and do stuff on your own. George has figured out how this works and if you deviated from his system it will come back to bite you. Following his system I pocketed a total of over $4100 in six trips. THANKS GEORGE!

Summary: Honesty
Review: I am a lawyer near Atlantic City and George consulted with me regarding his book. As a result I was given a copy and thoughly enjoyed reading it! The book and its approach to gambling is both genuine and worth following. I was not paid for this endorsement and have not spoken with the author in more than a year. Good luck!

Summary: I can't believe it!
Review: I couldn't believe it when I found it this book. I had tried card counting, the cheat cards, and a few other strategies (that I made up). I couldn't beat the casinos. Maybe once a awhile I would win, but more often I would lose. I read the book and couldn't believe how easy it was. I won 5 out of the last 6 times I played. I just wanted to let anyone else interested in blackjack know that this is the book to read! I don't need luck any more. I have George on my side.

Summary: Good Information
Review: I didn't have any idea of the advantage a blackjack player had by using basic strategy. I knew the how-to of blackjack, but didn't know that I was at a big disadvantage by not knowing proper strategy.. Not only did this book add fire to my game and help me become a more freq winner. "It opened my eyes..." Card counting takes time, but I would still recommend it to help in your game. This book is a great book for a new blackjack player, or someone that wants to improve on his/her skills to start winning. Follow this book -- step/by/step --

Summary: Great Book for New Black jack players
Review: I have played blackjack many times before reading this book. I mostly lost before. Now if I follow the authors 5 rules, I leave with winnings. Last 3 times, I was at the casiono, i left with winnings. This book, it will teach you how to win every hand, but it heled me win and leave with as a winner. Also, it is much easier than trying to count cards. I also had a much easier time understanding this book than another book on blackjack the did involve counting cards. I recomend this book for anyone that want to win, it worked for me (as long as i follow the 5 rules).

Summary: You want to win? Read this book!
Review: I met George at a conference and only picked up his book to be polite. Wow! I'm glad I did. This book is very helpful and with its tips and guides, got me over my fear of playing Blackjack. If you want to play Blackjack and actually walk away from the table with some money in your pocket, buy George's book.

Summary: I had a gambling problem. I always lost---until now.
Review: I picked up this book in Vegas when I was already down a few hundred dollars. By using the strategies explained, the principles of money management and the discipline to know my play limits before I even sit down at the table--the 'secrets'--my losing streak is over. From a purely aesthetic point; the cover is not the looker of some of those other books which have to lure you into buying, the paper is thick enough you can take notes and they not bleed through and the binding stays together even when you really open the book for a study. The book is tightly edited and a fast read. If you're considering a book on one of the best games to beat the casinos, you can't go wrong for the price.
