Ebook: Blackjack for Blood: The Card-Counters' Bible and Complete Winning Guide

Amazon Description:

The purpose of Blackjack for Blood, by Bryce Carlson, is to provide the reader with a comprehensive strategy for obtaining a winning edge at the game as it is commonly played in the casinos of Nevada and elsewhere, and also to entertain the reader with some sense of the glamour, excitement, and drama that are a part of the world of the professional gambler.

For a Twenty-One game plan to be effective, it must address three fundamental and very different issues. First, it must show the player how to bet his money properly and how to play the hands accurately. Second, it must instruct the player on how to deal effectively with casino personnel. And third, a professional approach to the game requires the ability to deal with yourself, to maintain control under pressure and in situations loaded with stress.

Slightly More Descriptive Review:

Blackjack for Blood is sub-titled “The Card-Counters’ Bible, and Complete Winning Guide”. We think it’s one of the only books most people would need to become a professional card counter. It’s not as comprehensive about the math behind the game or the history of how players have tried to win as some other books. But it’s practical in the extreme.

Carlson includes how to play, how to use basics strategy, and how to count cards. But he also includes sections about camouflaging your advantage play efforts, which is important if you want to avoid getting 86’ed.

You don’t have to become a professional to have fun playing blackjack. Carlson explains how to get enough of an edge to turn blackjack into a hobby where you can win money and get comps from the casinos without mathematically risking much money at all. And if you want to become a pro, you can.

The counting system taught in this book is the Omega II.
