Blackjack Attack: Playing the Pros' Way

Where is the mention of other, more profitable techniques? Sadly, nowhere in these pages. "Playing The Pros Way"? I don't think so.

This was the third blackjack book I've read, after KO Blackjack and The World's Greatest Blackjack Book. I read that Don Slessinger is the greatest auhtority in the world on blackjack. Maybe he is, maybe he isn't. This book was incoherent. I found World's Greatest Blackjack Book much better and KO Blackjack was also better. I learned a few things from this book but not enough for [the price]!

Blackjack is not that hard to play. But Schlessinger makes it sound as if we're dealing with intricate brain surgery. We aren't. If you want to know the "secret formula" of professionals you might consider this. If you play games with deep penetration, count cards in these games, structure your betting to get to double the number of decks you are playing against when the count is positive, and get that money out there in high counts, you will win. It is that simple. Schlessinger's book is truly ludicrous in its intricacies. His math isn't wrong, it just isn't necessary to play winning blackjack. If you are looking for good blackjack books to give you a handle on this game, look elsewhere.
