Product Description

Synopsis
Demonstrates an easy-to-use system of playing and winning at blackjack, showing how to gain an unbeatable edge on the house, and includes a country-by-country guide to casinos of the world.

From the Author
The most powerful, simple system available ... easy to learn
"Lance" and I have worked together on behavioral research for many years. He as psychologist and I as a management consultant in technology. His system and my computer background made it a perfect match to teach the Hi-Opt I system in our book. The Hi-Opt I system is regarded as the most powerful, simple system that can be developed. Since the math hasn't changed with Blackjack, this is why our book continues to be a leader. We also worked hard to make the book fun and the system easy to learn. We've included stories from our thousands of hours in casinos, and have presented the Hi-Opt I system in an easy to learn, step-by-step fashion. Someone is paying the electric bill for the signs outside of casinos ... but not our readers!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Value, 20 May 1999
By A Customer
The is the most straightforward book on any gambling topic I have ever read. Finally, a book that shots straight, and uses fact to support its arguements. 90% of all casino books are foolishly written, and based entirely on LUCK. These authors not only wrote a complete mathematical arguement, but supported each possible play with an actual occurence they encountered in casino play. Even if you aren't looking to conquer the casinos, this book is well worth the price in entertainment value.

PS: I'm doing very well with the system...

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a great book!, 11 Nov 1998
By A Customer
I just recently bought and read this book, it has put me on a different playing level. It is easy to read and contains great information on the Hi-Opt1 counting system. It gives you easy to learn training advise that is very important. It also has some great stories that everyone can learn from.

5.0 out of 5 stars Crucial for your Blackjack library, 6 Mar 2005
The book is a comprehensive account of Blackjack in a casino (or at home) and prepares the player for every pitfall a 'cheating' casino my put in your way. The book has been written with a heavy influence from the authors personal experiences and thus is not two dimensional and boring like some other texts (I enjoyed the author talk about Las Vegas mobsters and the underground world of organised crime). Humble makes sure that if he has mentioned an important point, the point is elaborated upon and explained thoroughly in following chapters.
As for the mathematics of the card counting systems; understanding the algebra behind the Hi Opt system and trying to understand exactly what Humble is trying to say can be a little overwhelming in parts. When faced with these chapters I recommend going back and reading the chapter several times.
This book is well worth purchasing, but before you spend your hard earned money on this classic piece of literature. Explore the Blackjack forum pages on the internet to see what the world champion blackjack players recommend.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lots of stratgety mixed with humerous anecdotes
This comprehensive book makes for a very smooth read. It's more than those other "dry" blackjack books where all they do is throw numbers and percentages at you. Read more
