Summary: Teaches Valuable Lessons, But Can't Guarantee You'll Win $$$
Review: The most valuable information in George's book is essentially how to be a disciplined blackjack player, which is most valuable indeed. Think about it though. If there was a guaranteed way for the average non-card counting Joe like you or me to win consistently at casinos, casinos would soon cease to exist. What about George's 78% win average? Well, that's according to him of course. But consider this: when you use his system you've had a "winning" session when you win 50% of your original stake. You've had a "losing" session when you've lost 100% of your stake. Therefore you can end up with a higher percentage of winning sessions than losing sessions, and still end up in the hole. George doesn't say he sees a consistent 78% monetary return on all his blackjack investments, just that he sees a 78% "win average." Plus, no betting system can gain or lose you money. How does one hand know what was wagered on the last hand?However, I rate this book highly because of the many positive lessons it teaches about gambling in general. Although George's system cannot guarantee you will win money, it is still a system which requires discipline, proper playing technique, and a strict betting and money management formula. He emphasizes fundamentals that are paramount to having a successful ride at any gaming table: do not drink, don't bet hunches or feelings, bring only a certain amount (depending on table limits) to each table, walk when you win or lose a certain amount. If you can follow all George's disciplines, you will definitely increase your chances of winning. Hopefully you will have a good time as well and not walk away broke, having spent five times as much as you intended in half an hour. George is an Everyman, and his short book is a good read. From reading his books and hearing him on talk shows, I think he has a great personality, and very much speaks to the average or casual gambler like you and me. He is a good writer for someone who is not a professional writer. The handy strategy cards can be simply torn out and taken to the blackjack table with you. If you're planning a trip to Vegas or Atlantic City, it can be a fun system to try. Who knows, you may get lucky!

Summary: You Have To Try This Even if you'r not a gambler
Review: This book has changed my entire perception of gambling in the casinos. I was willing to give this idea of George's a try. After all counting cards is suppose to be difficult and time consuming.With this book the reading is easy to follow and it's a system that allows you to grasp the concept very easily. I'm playing with the mathmatical odds that enable me to win at blackjack, not break the casino. you'll never beat the casinos,but you can win fairly consistently with this system.FIVE STARS is my vote

Summary: This Book Is Great
Review: This book was great! It was easy to follow and I played for hours. I have never walked away from a Black Jack table with money in my pocket and never after 4 or 5 hours of playing. People at my table wanted to know what I was using and where could they get one. I won't go back to vegas without this book. I can't wait for my next visit to Vegas.

Summary: Great Book
Review: This book was great! We played for hours, we followed the book and had everyone at our tables asking us what we were using and where could they get the book. I also got his tapes and I can't wait until my next vegas trip to utilize all of the secrets for getting things for free. I won't go to Vegas without this book.

Summary: Good Value addition to your Gaming Library
Review: This is a very straightforward book. The author gets to his points quickly and concisely. He doesn't waste words in the 20 pages of text. It was a radio interview Mr. Pappadopoulos did earlier this year with a Vegas radio station that peaked my interest. I was considering learning to card count but after reading this book I am relieved that I found an alternative. I've only used the system in simulation but it does make sense and seems to be a sound progressive betting system. Card counters will not enjoy the book, but novice or recreational players will easily understand the book and flat bettors will profit from using his system. I'm looking forward to testing the system in Vegas when I return later this year!

Summary: The "secrets" are still hidden
Review: This pamphlet of 20 pages is disappointing. I simulated the stategy and was hard pressed to win 20% of the sessions. This, coupled with a flawed trend, bankroll and money management scheme, does not inspire confidence.

Summary: Blackjack"s Hidden Secrets, Win Without Counting
Review: With absolutely no experience this book gave me the tools to enjoy my Las Vegas experience and come home with more money than I left with. I have a few friends that frequent the casinos and they are going to get this book for their pre- birthday gift. I would hate to make them wait. The cost of it was paid ten times over the first time I went out on the town.
