 Blackjack Bible November 10, 2006
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This was the best money I have ever spent on a book. What this book lacks in anecdotes and tales of the road, it makes up for in no nonsense powerful blackjack with the numbers to back it up. Wong is truly one of the the inovators of the game with a practical, yet precise novel of how to beat the best game a casino has to offer. His strategy charts and math was concise and easy to read, yet when studied, provides for an enlightening study course of blackjack. If you are a blackjack player and consider yourself to be serious at it, or you want to become serious and take your game to a much higher level, then this is THE book for you. Start here and the others seem insignificant.

Anything written by Stanford Wong is worth reading. Professional Blackjack is no exception. This book is the best resource that I know for those using the Hi-Lo system of counting cards. Wong carefully explains the system, and backs up his research with loads of computer analysis. He provides strategy tables for basic strategy, and a myriad of other strategy tables for all sorts of different rules. This is the sort of book that keeps blackjack pit bosses awake at night!

if you'll read only one book in blackjack this is the one!
the book is very orginized and consice. it gets right to the point of each subject.
I simply love this book. I take it with me to every trip (just in case) and read it just for fun. I think I reread it 10 times.
I read so many other books in blackjack. (no one is close).
If you intend to be a good blackjack player you must have this book. period
Amazingly Indepth & Great Analysis of Blackjack! January 21, 2004
6 out of 7 found this review helpful
We don't call him "The Honorable Stanford Wong" for nothing. He completely encompasses the breadth of blackjack, all the ins and outs, how to count cards (the different schools of counting too!) and if you didn't already know, basic strategy and its variations in unusual arenas. I went into reading this book knowing just basic strategy -- I came out with a complete understanding of the game! This is a CRUCIAL book to have if you have any serious interest in blackjack as more than just a recreational activity. The jargon CAN get a little heavy and involves some mathematical theories I never learned, but it was helpful in explaining a lot of things missing from general, "at the table" blackjack training. It truly is THE BIBLE of blackjack.
What else do you need to know? December 4, 2003

What else do you need to know besides this: 1 - Wong has been one of the top blackjack players for quite a long time. 2 - This book contains tables and data for just about every possible permutation of blackjack that you will come across in most casinos. 3 - There is _no_ serious blackjack player out there that has not read this book. Any other questions?
