3.0 out of 5 stars hesitancy
Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2013
Verified Purchase
In 1982, while visiting Las Vegas with 10 gambling friens this book was the one recommended. Whereas the content remains the same, the recent bought again version has been cheapened. The original purchase also contained cut out pocket cards for handy use giving the basic play...this has no such pocket cards. The original book had the graphs all color coded, this one does not and is not as easily discerned. Since, I have since found the original, and use that instead of the recent purchase.
If none of what I have written is important to you, the material is the same, and go with it. I'm solely addressing that this recent book is a cheapened version of the original.

4.0 out of 5 stars THE Book on Blackjack
Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2014

This book has never been equalled or surpassed on the subject. Plain as day and accurate now as when originally written, it is the book that is all you will need to come away with lotsa House money in your pocket. You will be able to learn counting techniques and proper play and betting strategy for every scenario possible at a Blackjack gaming table.

This was the second best of 23 BJ books that I read, but an absolute prerequisite to understanding the probabilities. His work on statistically what to expect, how often is a requirement for success.

This 1960's Lawrence Revere textbook, and that's what it is, is a very thorough technical offering that covers all aspects of card counting, the game itself and strategy without the go-go fluff we expect today.

2.0 out of 5 stars The charts are NOT in color even though the book says they are.
Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2013
Verified Purchase
This book is supposed to contain 36 color charts. No charts in this book are in color. They are printed in grey scale which makes them practically worthless. I'd like to get a copy of a previous edition with the charts in color.

3.0 out of 5 stars A little above my understanding
Reviewed in the United States on April 26, 2017

If you already know blackjack terms and something about the game, you will learn a lot better from this book. I have virtually no precious knowledge, other than playing with the kids, to go into a casino and expect to win or even break even. I have had to study other sources to understand this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars At first I was a poor man who couldn't play blackjack to save my life
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 18, 2016
Verified Purchase
At first I was a poor man who couldn't play blackjack to save my life, but then I bought this book and it transformed my life!!
I studied the basic strategy for 16 weeks and took it to my local casino, after one hour I was up £2,000! I then left with 5 women thanks to this book.
I spend the next 2 years honing my skills using this book, now I drive a spaceship and have 3 houses in Monaco, don't forget the bodyguards and bears with lazer guns!
I don't really play blackjack anymore, but I wouldn't have anything I have today without this book and Lawrence Revere, I even have a shrine to him in my dungeon.

2.0 out of 5 stars Good but get another edition
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 18, 2011
Verified Purchase
I've only given two stars because, although the contents are 5-star excellent, this (green cover) edition is all in black and white. Revere makes the point in the introduction that the colour coded charts will make it easier to learn. He is right but this particular edition is hard to read as the charts give small, black numbers against various grey backgrounds. It is perhaps a 'print on demand' copy and saved cost through non-colour printing.

Get the black cover edition for the colour charts. The contents are of interest even if you don't adopt Revere's system - he shows an 'old-timer' attitude to playing and not getting caught which may still be relevant given that casinos still don't like you to win. They won't throw you out physically (not for a first offence!) but having a supervisor stand politely but clearly watching your every move is unnerving, believe me.

If you get Revere's excellent work, don't bother with the advanced point count he devotes a chapter to selling. It dates from a time before systems were two a penny and you are better off exploring other books for the price. Snyder's 'Blackbelt in Blackjack' is one of the best.

5.0 out of 5 stars Interesting book with very interesting methods but won't work in a casino with a CSM.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 22, 2018
Verified Purchase
I really liked reading this book. I first watched a short movie about it on youtube and looked to see if it was available as a book and found it here on amazon. It has all the mathematical formulas to beat the game of blackjack. However, nowadays (as of 2018) most casinos have a CSM (Continuous shuffling machine) which makes the game unbeatable. It's still a good book to buy and to learn some of the methods if you want to have the winning edge by playing blackjack with friends.
