    Bettie: DD Members May PRE-Pre-Order BJA3 NOW!


    As a special Thank You to our loyal Don?s Domain members, RGE is allowing you to PRE-pre-order Don Schlesinger?s much-anticipated Blackjack Attack: Playing the Pros? Way, 3rd edition ? The Ultimate Weapon!

    This third and final edition of Don Schlesinger's tome is the biggest and best ever, with nearly twice as much content as the 2nd edition! Available May 17th, 2004 in a special hardcover collector's edition, it will be printed on extra-bright paper with a deluxe cloth cover and special flexible, sewn binding. The paperback will be available later this year.

    In order to secure the lowest possible numbers of the available autographed books, DD members can order right now, though the general public has been informed that pre-ordering doesn?t begin until March 15th! Pre-order customers receive:

    ? Book autographed and numbered by Don Schlesinger
    ? 20% discount off the cover price

    Numbered copies will be assigned based on the time and date the order is received, by phone, fax or email. No personalizations. Your DD membership will be automatically extended for three months, and RGE will add a three-month Trackjack subscription to your account.

    IMPORTANT: We have published, but deactivated, the web order page. In order for DD members to pre-order, you will need to phone, fax, or email your order to us. Please provide your name, shipping address, billing address, and credit card information. The final price, with S/H, is $36.99 for a single book shipped in the U.S. (NV orders subject to 7.5% sales tax).

    Blackjack Attack is the most important book available to blackjack aficionados since Ed Thorp?s Beat the Dealer, and has been praised by every prominent blackjack expert. In it, Schlesinger answers virtually all of the thorny mathematical questions that have puzzled serious players for years: optimal betting, camouflage, risk analysis, team play, systems comparison, and much more. With twice as much material as its predecessor, this third, Ultimate, edition contains new studies bound to intrigue even the most knowledgeable pro, including a complete re-examination of the late Peter Griffin's work on expected values, and the publication of the most accurate basic strategy charts ever devised.

    Loaded with a stockpile of strategies, innovative analyses, and unique insights into the game, Blackjack Attack is the ?Ultimate Weapon? in the blackjack player's arsenal.

    Viktor Nacht: BJA3: Preface to the Third Edition

    Preface to the Third Edition

    There is much to be excited about in this third, ?Ultimate Weapon,? edition of Blackjack Attack. As the subtitle suggests, I have tried to cram in the pages of this one volume an incredible amount of highly sophisticated blackjack information. To that end, I have eagerly sought the advice and collaboration of some of the keenest minds in the area of blackjack research, and together, we have broken new ground in several ways.

    Here, then, are the major additions and improvements to be found in this third edition: first and foremost is the complete revision of the Chapter 10 charts, by Norm Wattenberger, to include optimal betting ramps, unit sizes, SCOREs, and much, much more; a light piece, ?More on SCORE,? appended to the SCORE chapter, as we seek ways to distinguish between the ?original? concept of SCORE, and the ?generic? meaning the term has taken on; the complete version of the Optimal Departure study, which began in the second edition of BJA, but was completed in a subsequent issue of Blackjack Forum; four brand-new risk of ruin equations, encompassing goal-reaching and time-constraint concepts, and an enlightening testing of the formulas? accuracy, through the computer simulations of Norm Wattenberger; an entirely new Chapter 12, as a mythical blackjack team takes a ?Random Walk Down the Strip,? utilizing John Auston?s genial software application, BJRM 2002; a three-part Appendix, courtesy of the amazing Cacarulo, with almost 100 pages (!) of precise expectation tables, basic strategy charts (the most accurate in print), and effects of rules variations on basic strategy expectations; finally, a modified cover design, an enlargement of the book?s format, and, for collectors, an elegant hard-cover edition, which will be followed by a soft-cover version.

    We learn to ?never say never,? but, with this ?Ultimate Weapon,? I believe I have furnished virtually all of the tools that the traditional card counter must have at his disposal to levy a full-blown attack on the casinos. I?m sure you?ll let me know if I?ve left anything out, but, for now, this third edition of Blackjack Attack contains just about everything I know about the game of blackjack. As one reviewer observed (speaking of the second edition), I suggest that you ?don?t leave home without it.? Enjoy!
