    Written as a full-time pro, the response being nasty and sarcastic as expected.

    A decent response would have required honesty so ask yourself why you do it and share. Dr. Wongs book was written in the 90's. What is in there that you use today when BJ3 or other options are available?

    To refresh ònes self on odd index numbers, to double check something that came up that was unusual, to determine something for a different set of rules. To check an exact location on some point to help s friend in a query. To assist us in widening the gap between revenue and expense. The list is endless. .

    Bosox was sarcastic because your question was more ridiculous than usual.

    He probably hasn’t read Wong’s Professional Blackjack.

    In the Preface section on page xxiii in second paragraph third edition of Don's book, Don states:

    "Permit me to explain. It might be a good idea to begin by telling you what Blackjack Attack is not. It is not a ''how to learn book to count cards" book (although readers will learn much about card counting)."

    Further down in the same paragraph Don says:

    "Instead, this book assumes a more advanced reader _ one who is already familiar with the above concepts and seeks a higher level of sophistication."

    Personally, I have found these two books work perfectly together, and both books are perfect reference tools that are at our ready need. Unless of course if you leave them in hotel rooms.

    Hey Bosox, this is one point you and I are in total agreement on. These are the two books I always travel with, even when I’m not on a blackjack trip. I always pick up something new, or have something reinforced when I read sections a third, forth or fifth, etc, time.

    I need to make a correction. In the above quote which I did take from the Third Edition it actually was taken from the Preface of the First Edition. I missed the fact that this book contained the Preface of the first, second, third hard cover and soft cover of all the editions. I still feel that Wong's book is still a great match with Don's book and stand by my above quote.
