zoomie: Word is spreading about Ms. Walker's book

[21forme]

I've encountered a few players who seem to know BS reasonably well, hitting 12s and 13s against "bust cards." I wonder where they learned it?

OTOH, I've seen players surrender 14 v 8, etc. :.)

Mike Shackleford has a great site with wonderful BS charts at his website (below). That's how I learned to play about 8+ years ago when you could find S17 games in Indiana. Man, did it piss people off when I played - always complaining about how I was screwing things up for the table.

There was also a book out that was popular called "Armada Strategies for Spanish 21" by Frank Scoblete. I know that RGE carried it before Viktor bought the company.

Also a poster using the handle Wild Bill outlined basic strategy and some count strategies for one version of the game. The post is archived at another website and was there for quite a few years before the latest book came out.

The latest book hasn't so much let a secret out of the bag as provided more detailed and valuable analysis as well as accurate numbers/strategies for the different versions of the game.
