Ready to Play!

Gambling is an iffy proposition without some real knowledge. To learn one must play 100 times (+) and hope that LUCK is in the house or things can get depressin real fast or one can go to the source of knowledge. This book teaches the unitiated some fundamentals and strategies with wich to approach the table with a fair amount of confidence and with the right bankroll, for they say that without the proper amount of cash you are bracing yourself for defeat. Mr. Royer strikes as one of the good guides, he certainly knows his subject and his overall writing is quite enjoyable. After reading Mr. Royer's book I went to Las Vegas (my favorite!) and put into practice what I had learned from this book. I had my bearings about me and it lasted the better of 2 solid hours, in which in a 5 dollar table with the right conditions (Favoring the Player as much as possible, but of course!!)I won 185 dollars, after having lost and won my fair share of both. The point I am making is that without the book I definitely would have lost much more and not won anything. I gave him 5 stars for 4 did not quite do the job. I walked out a winner and realized that this is something I am actually enjoying. I always favored dices but Blackjack is a lot of fun!

Want to Know the Real Secrets of Blackjack?

This book by Victor H. Royer is one of a great books about Blackjack. If you are serious about knowing the real truth of what Blackjack is all about, then you must have this book. Here you will find not only a terrific history of this great game, but you will find invaluable information about how the game is actually played in the casinos of the 21st Century. What you may have heard about Blackjack in the past, or perhaps read as recently as the last century, is no longer the case. What you see on TV about the various Blackjack card counting systems is also no longer possible under the majority of situations and circumstances, such as are the real truth of the modern casino. What you should know is Royer's tiered wagering method, and his new Modified Basic Strategy - MBS. If you want to give yourself the right chance to win money, then this is the book for you. It will pay for itself many times over in just your first trip to a casino.

Pays for itself the first trip to the casino

I have all the blackjack books. While the mathematics are usually sound, and the theory is always accurate..these books never did what was most important....TURN ME INTO A WINNER!I requested my yearly statement back from the Grand for 2003 and they show me at a net loss of $105. Thats for the ENTIRE year! Now consider that I always hide Green Chips and Black chips whenever possible before cashing in at the table to conceal my true winnings, and consider the 33 night of free hotel stays, the endless free meals, the free shows, the free trips on the casino plesure boat etc. and I was a BIG winner in 2003! My first winning year ever.I owe all of that to Victor's Blackjack book. He offers a method of play that will actually allow you to win without counting cards, without risking getting barred from the casino, and without all of the mathematics involved in the card counting strategy.The wagering differential is the most amazing concept I have ever seen. I logged most of my play from 2003...I shoudl have logged it all, but I didn't. But from my records I only had 3 losing sessions in 2003 at the Grand.What more can I say. This book pays for itself.

Finally the Truth about the Real Game in the Real Casinos

No other book on Blackjack tells the real truth of how the game is actually being played in the casinos of the 21st Century. Every other book relies more on the "theory" of Blackjack, rather than on the reality of what the players will actually find in the casinos when they get there and try to play it. All other books look at the game of Blackjack from the "old thinking" perspective, by teaching the game with the methods and strategies that used to work 10-20 years ago, but are all but useless in the real world of today's casinos. Other books talk about "card counting" as if this was the only and surefire means to winning, but don't tell you how hard it is do actually do it -- IF you can still find a casino that will allow you to do it, and if you can still find a game whose rules and methods of dealing allows this to work to anything more than merely a better guess. Other books talk about Basic Strategy, but then force the reader to learn tables upon tables of modifications for this and that and so on, creating a mess of information that not even experts can easily digest.Victor H. Royer's book tells the truth of the real game of Blackjack as it actually exists in the casinos where the readers will go to play. He teaches the theory, shows the "traditional" methods, and explains why they work and don't work, and under which conditions. He gives the reader a Modified Basic Strategy, that incorporates all of the various "modifications" and makes an easy-to-learn strategy and hand-decision chart that allows anyone to play Blackjack to as close to an even game as it can get. Additionally, Royer provides the reader with a clearly defined "session event strategy," a method of playing Blackjack successfully by using the MBS along with a tiered wagering and fractional differential principles for utilizing group-event methodology of blackjack play. For the more adventurous reader, Royer invites them to also read his book Powerful Profits from Winning Strategies for Casino Games.
