Million Dollar Blackjack

Summary: A must for any semi-serious 21 player
Review: Although the book is designed more for the card counting player, there is still plenty of information for the beginning or casual player. On the other extreme: for those who are more ambitious the book details The Uston Advanced Point Count. The APC is considered one of the most powerful (and complicated) count systems ever. It is still every bit as applicable today as it was in the 70's when it was developed. Several other simpler count systems that Uston devised are also covered in great detail. Stories of how they won millions of dollars from the casinos are inspiring and enjoyable to read. If you're in it for the stories, pick up one of his other books: Ken Uston on Blackjack. It contains NO 21 strategy advice, but is chock full of their clandestine 21 activities around the casinos. Very fun and quick to read.

Summary: It's another scam from a blackjack scam artist
Review: Don't waste your time with this book. Most of it doesn't apply to today's casinos around the world. Plus it requires thousands of hours of practice at home to become proficient.

Summary: A great read
Review: From the furtive glances of casino floormen to encounters with Griffin agents, Uston has experienced it all. His real-life adventures provide much insight into how the card counter should handle casino heat. Chapter 9 on determining betting strategy and the element of ruin was helpful to me. It stresses the importance of discipline.

Summary: A great read and good strategies!
Review: I read this book many years ago when it was first published. The stories of his casino experiences are worth more than the price of this book. The strategies offered are solid and useful even in today's casino environment, though I've never been able to handle more than the simple point count system in real play.

Summary: a blackjack book that covers more than the basics
Review: ive read quite a few books on the subject, most just repeat the basic strategy without telling you anything else. ken goes a step further here with flashcards to aid you in learning the basics. theres also a wide coverage for a few different counting strategies (without you having to pay extra for them) for different levels of your skill as well as fun little anecdotes about his heydey in team playing. its worth it alone just for the historical tidbits
