by Peter A. Griffin Editorial Review Ed Thorp, author of Beat the Dealer "The Theory of Blackjack is a fundamental contribution to our understanding of the game...unusually well-written and amusing...a pleasure to read. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. Book Description This classic work on the mathematics of blackjack provides insight into the methods and numbers behind the development of today's card-counting systems. It contains the most complete and accurate basic strategy, covering any number of decks and the most commonly encountered rules. This book is considered the bible for serious blackjack players. Really a Book for Blackjack Computers, October 9, 2002 Reviewer: Wayne G. Tom (see more about me) from Mtn. View, CA United States This book is for advanced players who are computer literate. It's main purpose is to help program a BJ computer for actual play. Additionally, one can program a BJ simulator to evaluate all the other counting methods on the market to rate their effectiveness. This is not a good read for beginning or advanced BJ card counters. It is for those "experts" who try the fringes. Furthermore, having a BJ computer in a casino is now illegal in NV.
