3.0 out of 5 stars Complicated but powerful system, 6 Jul 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Blackjack for Blood (Paperback)

The system is a good one, but complicated. Way too much so for the average person. If you're a smart cookie, this book is for you with a super-powerful system. If you're a newbie to the game, go with a simpler system like Knock-Out Blackjack or High-Low. These simpler systems are almost as strong in computer simulations, and surpass the complex systems when real-world conditions are factored in.

5.0 out of 5 stars AWESOME!! The best BJ book in print. Period., 18 Jun 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Blackjack for Blood (Paperback)

This book has it all. It's mathematically accurate, highly informative, up-to-date, and beautifully written. In addition, Carlson's anecdotes of high-roller life in the casino fast lane make for a really fun, entertaining read. Carlson is both a mathematician and a successful high-stakes Blackjack player, and he presents the concepts behind card counting in an easy-to-understand way that is accurate, informative, and practical. This book is just chock full of priceless information. It presents the theory of card counting, basic strategy, game selection, camouflage, casino comportment, special "commando" tactics, money management, risk of ruin, etc., etc., as well as Carlson's own Advanced Omega II System, which all the experts agree is the strongest BJ system going. AOII is a level-2 card-counting system that I've found easy to learn and easy to use. And it works! It really gets the money. K-O and Hi-Lo don't come close. This book is the bomb! If you could only have one book on BJ, this should definitely be it. Highly recommended.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good read but complicated system, 26 Feb 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Blackjack for Blood (Paperback)

Bryce Carlson is no doubt a very good blackjack player and an even better statistician. His book gives the average player some priceless advice on how to make the most of your small advantage you gain from counting. On the other hand since I don't have a pentium III chip for a brain I will rate his Omega II counting system complicated at best. My feeling is that this system is not worth the extra effort to master unless you are a professional. His system uses high indices and therefore demands constant practice in order to use it effectively. IMHO There are plenty of easier (level 1) counting systems that are very close to the same accuracy.
