An Excellent Book for the Halves Card Counting Method, March 2, 2005
Reviewer: LotteryMan43 (Watertown,CT USA)
After reading several reviews, I realized that the reviewers actually tell you nothing about the book and methods, and I would go so far as to say that some really didn't read this book. I am a Level 3 Card Counter. I use the method described in this book known as the "halves counting method". It is the BEST and Most Accurate way to determine when to increase your bet. REALISTICALLY, MOST PEOPLE will NOT have the time and patience to learn it, so they will settle for the Hi-Lo method (also in the book), which will place them at a distinct disadvantage from someone using the "Halves Method". Is there a Better method than the "Halves" - yes, but it requires a "side count of Aces, and this is difficult to do while carrying on conversations and trying to survive at a Blackjack table. Remember this, although there are tips in this book about betting and other things, you have to read more books and play a "ton" of Blackjack to learn how to bet properly, how much to raise, how to read when a high True Count is
"running away", and many more savvy bits of information. If you're looking to read ONE book and kill the Casino, it won't happen - if you're thinking you'll win every time out, it won't happen, even with the Halves Count - but this is the BEST of the books for a diligent Card-Counter who would learn the "Halves Method". Remember, I am recommending this Book for the Halves Method and excellent, accurate tables in the book. I'd give it 5 Stars, but there's a few mistakes (some typographical), and an asumption about "greater than the count" that leads to a minor error that is not earth shattering. Good Luck to you!
