    Thumbs up Book Review - Blackjack Card Counting - Learn How To Count Cards - Interactive Games

    Over the last week I have been increasing my blackjack book library with some all time classics and also the above titled book, which I purchased for a giggle.

    The book is basically a True or False Quiz on Blackjack Card Counting which appears to have been written by a child with learning difficulties and extremely limited knowledge of the subject matter. This very short book (if you can call it that) contains badly written sentences, spelling mistakes, missing words and incorrect information. The book is that bad, it actually had the Mrs & I in fits of hysterics at the hilarity of the errors. I hope I am not breaking the "sharing and coping rules" by providing this short word for word insight as a brief example of the content:-

    Q.

    True

    False

    A.

    While counting cards MIGHT be able to tell you whether the next hand will be advantageous to the dealer or the player, it can even get you in trouble in many places.

    True

    There are several methods that are used for counting cards. Some of them are true count, knock out, hi-low strategy, basic strategy, advanced omega, canfield expert, silver fox, zen count, red seven, etc.




    Q.

    There is no need to practice card counting, just hit the casinos and start raking it in

    Is this a Kindle book? There are loads of them out now as it seems anyone can publish a text for sale on kindle, seemingly without any proofreading whatsoever.
    "One of these days in your travels, you are going to come across a guy with a nice brand new deck of cards, and this guy is going to offer to bet you that he can make the Jack of Spades jump out of the deck and squirt cider in your ear. But, son, do not take this bet, for if you do, as sure as you are standing there, you are going to end up with an ear full of cider."

    I think there might be a kindle version but no this was a paperback. I was expecting a book containing drills but this is just useless.
