Product DescriptionA down-to-earth, comprehensive handbook on how to play and legitimately win at casino blackjack. It contains an extensive chapter on correct basic strategy, including a color-coded strategy chart--plus clear explanations of the proper plays for several hands that are consistently misplayed. Convincing visual scenarios are given to disprove prevalent blackjack myths which most typical players believe in--and steadfastly play by. It presents 3 different card counting systems ranging from entry-level to professional, and showcases the KISS Count--an easy-to-use, upgradable system for gaining a full-scale advantage in today's modern games. Also offers valuable, 'outside-the-box' maneuvers for improving the performance of the common player, many of which have scarcely, or never appeared in print, such as: Profiting from Other Players' Hands, The Magnificent 7 Hands, Hi Card/Lo Card Layouts, The Ace/10 Front Count, True Fudging with Unbalanced Counts, and The 'Nifty 15' Camouflage Hands. This book contains over 40 useful charts and 60 vivid hand illustrations.

Rating: - Great book for beginners
This book is excellent. I am new to gambling, so it helps alot to read something that is clear and helpful. I thought you have to be a genius like the guy in 21 to count cards, but i now have a different opinion. The way the book is written, I think you have to have IQ under 100 to not understand the concepts..

Having read many of the more mathematical books about blackjack, I was surprised to find a few tips I hadn't seen elsewhere. One chapter dispells some of the common myths. Though definitely aimed at the beginning or casual player, the book describes the principles of advantage play in a simple and clear way. It may encourage the casual player to elevate his or her play. Pleasantly written.
Rating: - Good stuff here
I recently discovered online Blackjack and wanted to review/learn some new tips for winning strategies. Thankfully, this book not only provides great basics for getting that winning edge, but without even mentioning online Blackjack, this book clearly laid out why it isn't a good investment to play online Blackjack. Stick to the casinos, read this book, and grab that winning edge.
Rating: - One of the better books on Blackjack.
Renzy does provide some material that was new to me, but the counting system that he discusses is somewhat weak. Still a good book for a beginner to intermediate player.
Rating: - Exceeded my expectations
Fred Renzy is not only an avid Blackjack player, but a math and computer whizkid! I am not! However, he didn't lose me in this book. He kept it easy to understand. I also appreciated the fact that he was honest in explaining that Blackjack is a difficult game to get the edge at. It's not as easy as the movie makes it out to be. Nevertheless, he inspried me to play on, after reading his book.
