Summary: Winning Blackjack without driving yourself nuts!!!!
Review: I play blackjack, ALOT of blackjack. I have lost alot of money playing blackjack and I have seen "professional Counters" lose alot of money playing blackjack. I always felt there was a way to beat the game, but could not find it. After all, we would not play the game if it did not give us the Illusion that you can win. The casinos know this, and so does George!!! He has discovered what I knew existed but could not find. Do you want to win money playing blackjack? Read His Book!!!!It is easy to understand and learn and it works!!!!If I had this information, I would not sell it for less than $5,000. I know, I am winning more money than I have ever won playing this game. This is the only book you need to win!!! This is the truth. It has been table tested!!!!!

Summary: Outlines basic Blackjack, quick and easy.
Review: I read this book and used the system and win far more than I used to. I wasn't a great blackjack player to begin with, but now I do pretty well.
I already knew the basic strategy, this book helped me out with money management and trend recognition. I used to lose because of poor money management. Now I know better.
I've read some reviews that say this book is only good for the "short term", meaning less than 10,000 hands of blackjack! I don't think I'll EVER play 10,000 hands in my life, so if I win most of those that's OK.

Summary: I'm making a killing now! Very Simple! Unbelievable!
Review: I was a bit skeptical about ordering Mr. Pappadopoulos's at first. But, I decided to gamble and order it. To my surprise, this guide was extremely easy to understand and it made REAL sense. It's all summed up in a short amount of time. After using Mr. Pappadopoulos's system, I went from a 1/3 ratio of winning to a 4/5 ratio of winning. I now have all the confidence in the world to be an expert winning blackjack player and I owe it all to this book! I definately recommend it! (It really works! )

Summary: A True Confidence Builder
Review: I was not a Black Jack player. My friends would hit the tables and I'd meander over to the video poker to kill time while they had fun at the tables. I never felt it fun to turn over all my money at black jack.Mr. Pappadopoulos' book gave me the confidence to not just play, but to have fun. He made it clear how to set my limits, when to start playing, when to leave and how to leave a winner more often than not. In other words, focus on having fun rather than focus on counting cards or other mind-consuming approaches to beating the odds. I loved his clear and concise, yet personal, style of writing. I felt he was there with me when I went to the tables. I recovered four times the cost of the book on my first visit after reading. Thanks, Mr. Pappadopoulos, for your insights.

Summary: Easy to Understand, Even Easier to Apply
Review: I'm a blackjack newbie ... and I KNOW this book will save me hundreds, if not thousands of dollars. George's system is easy to learn (unlike card counting) and remember. Plus, it's a relatively quick read, making it perfect to bring on a plane ride to Vegas or your gambling mecca of choice. If you're headed to the blackjack tables, get this book first! It'll be the best [money] you spend ... and with George's 78% success rate, chances are good you'll recoup your investment.

Summary: It's actually what I discovered before discovering this book
Review: I've only read the sample pages on amazon but I have recently ordered it. The sample pages that mention money management is actually what I have been practicing before discovering this book. When playing blackjack I usually start out with twenty $5.00 chips($100). On an average session I can gain 10 chips (10 X $5 = $50). On a good session I can gain 20 chips(20 X $5 = $100). Going beyond that is pretty hard and I start losing or going up and down. On a really bad session I can gain only 4 chips (4 X $5 = $20). Usually on bad sessions I go negative before I can make it all back and get ahead by a little. But I usually do get ahead eventually. After seeing this pattern I figured the only way I can make more money is to start betting larger chips regularly such $25 chips. So my usual $50 gains become $250 and my miniscule $20 gains become $100. I go to the casino once or twice a week and make a couple of hundred dollars within the first half hour inside the casino. Then I leave. If I stay any longer I end up losing my gains and getting stressed out. I'm not breaking the casino or getting filthy rich. However, I've turned the casino into my own modest free ATM machine on a weekly basis.

Summary: PIPER53
Review: If you take out the index,basic strategy chart, and the blackjack
basics, your left with a few pages of betting and theory. This "book" is only a quarter of an inch thick.
I'd only recommend it to someone thinking about trying blackjack
and had an extra 10 minutes to kill.

Summary: What are these reviewers thinking?
Review: Listen to the reasons this book has been getting 4 or 5 starts here. "I didn't know there was a basic strategy - this is great!" Duh! "Other books show how to count cards. That's hard. This book shows any easy way to win with money management. That's easy." People, you can NOT win with money management. One of the reasons Blackjack is hard to figure out is that you can NOT learn from experience how to play. You would have to play millions and millions of hands, and record the results of every single hand, before you could figure out the correct plays. This game has already been figured out with mathematical proofs and huge computer simulations. I quickly perused this book in the book store (took about 15 seconds, because it's about 12 pages long (exaggerating just a bit)), and it's got plenty of errors, while the basic strategy tables are found in ANY book, folks! Don't waste your time. If you really want to win, you have to either
a) find a game with such good rules (almost always a single deck game) that you have an advantage even playing basic strategy. Good luck finding such a game.
b) count cards, or at least pay attention to the cards. For the easiest approach (and a very good explanation of basic strategy), try Cardoza's book WINNING CASINO BLACKJACK
FOR THE NON-COUNTER. Even here, you must find a single deck game with good rules, that gets you close to even with basic strategy, and then watch for a lot of low cards coming out early, and then betting higher. Otherwise, you have to count. For an easy counting system that is mathematically proven, try Knockout Blackjack. Folks, if you want to believe you can win by some betting progression or money management system, please do. The casinos will stay open with your business. Just because you won does not mean you have an advantage. You are still playing a losing game. Blackjack has HUGE variations in winnings, so your experience PROVES NOTHING. Great players can lose in the short term, and lousy players can win in the short term. "Short term" means less than about 10,000 hands, or about 1,000 hours of playing (that's playing for 4 hours a day, 5 days a week for about a year.) If you come out ahead after that time, then come back and write a positive review for this lame book. Otherwise, knock it off people.
