Wiser But Poorer - No Miracles Just Honest Advice
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
After reading this book, I lose just as much money, but now I know why I do. Seriously, I have bought several of Nestor's books. They are all fantastic books, well worth the price you pay. Nestor knows gambling and knows statistics. He does not try to sell you on any questionable, feel-good strategies. This is straight forward, honest, scientifically-based advice. As for this particular book, it is an excellent guide to blackjack. It starts out with simple strategies and then builds on these as it advanced to much more complex strategies. There are many helpful charts and tables. Do not expect miracles, this is honest advice.
Blackjack 101
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
The Smarter Bet Guide to Blackjack is a great introductory text. I does a good job of covering the rules and play. It's not so lengthy that you couldn't read it on a two hour flight to Vegas. It includes a Basic Strategy for both single deck and multiple deck Blackjack which are standard. Nestor includes a chapter on the variations such as Spanish 21, which a lot of books avoid. He includes a chapter on card counting which introduces the reader to counting. Lastly, he introduces progressive betting of which I am a proponent. This is a good introduction to Blackjack, and the price is right. Newly written Blackjack books generally sell for $15 or more, and this one is about $5. It's not thorough, but you can't expect a small and relatively short book to be comprehensive.
