never read a book so quick!

i absolutely loved this book! i’ve never read through a book so quickly! henry did a wonderful job at simplifying everything, he didn’t drag on too much, and though i thought i already knew everything about BJ he included some helpful tips i’d never even heard or thought of. i made a lot of notes throughout reading this book and couldn’t wait to start using them. this was an excellent book, he really explained everything in the simplest and easier way possible. so glad i bought it!

BLACKJACK: TAKE THE MONEY AND RUN. G-R-E-A-T BOOK!!!

You have to know when to leave the table, and my neighbour across the street is a superb BLACKJACK PLAYER. He wins about 90% of the time, then WALKS AWAY!! This is the key to a great player. Say, he takes $400 with him, if he looses, he walks away. If he wins(usually doubling his money), AND EARNS (yes earns, you HAVE TO know what you are doing), he STILL walks away with his winnings. He is so good, and he learned from reading this book, he is always invited to Las Vegas to play in championships. What a way to EARN extra money in your retirement years. I must say he was a math educator, and an excellent only. He will be teaching 3 members (3 generations) of my family using this book this summer, 2010. Can't wait, but it will take time to learn the 184 must know moves and strategies.

Learn to Win @ Blackjack

Tamburin gives you the three steps (The Play, The Betting & The Card Count) necessary to win. He also gives you the easier approach and the better, harder approach. Explanation of the true count calculation was harder than it should have been, but otherwise an excellent book. Has greatly improved my game. I now win more than I lose.

Take the money and run

Fantastic book!. Since I've bought it, I have stepped away from a Casino, always as a winner. I am not a proffesional gambler, but I love to win some extra money when I visit a Casino. I am looking forward to buy the rest of Mr. Tamburin's books. He deserves it.

Take the Money and Run

Having never played blackjack at a casino I found this book highly informative and reader friendly. The author is very specific in his presentation of statistical analysis of the game and presents a plausible method for winning this game. However, the authors insitance that one leave the casino when they reach a certain level of winnings is clearly a gamblers fallacy and leads me to question the accuracy of his stated statistics. The truth is that the statistics should never vary according to an individual player's win or loss streak. A 65% probability is a 65% probability. The author claims to feel better when he leaves a winner. How bizarre this seems for a man who claims to be a "professional" gambler. His proposition is that somehow taking a break from the game increases one's odds of winning. Nothing could be futher from statistical truth. If in fact as he states that card counting gives a player a 1-2% edge then logic dictates that playing continuosly is the way to maximiz one's profits.One must test his propositions in order to feel comfortable using these card counting strategies.

incredible book!

I have read this book about a year ago and used the guides in the back, well, I had such good success with it I continued to use what I learned. Unfortunately, I listened to the other so called experts and the say my techniques were wrong. I changed the way I played and continued to listen to the other and lost more money than I won. I bought your book once again and read it front to back and used my techniques that I developed and threw out the critics views. I strongly urge those who want an upper hand at the blackjack tables to read, memorize, and to sleep with this book under thier pillows.
