Please recommend me a book

[pvtcarter]

I went to the book store and there's probably 20 or so books on BJ. I'm guessing most all say the same thing. I know basic strategy and know the H-Lo count, (still practicing on getting better though). I would like your opinions on the most thorough book there is on advanced strategies. Thanks in advance.

Blackjack Bluebook II by Fred Renzey.

Also, if you are going to buy a book, please consider buying it through the store associated with these forums.

There are some good book recommendations in the FAQ thread. Since you already know the HiLo system you might want to read Schlesinger’s Blackjack Attack. It discusses playing strategies, betting strategies, game selection, standard deviation, risk of ruin, backcounting techniques, and pretty much all the basics. Basically, it tells you how to use card counting successfully. The new edition is available through this site.

Get Arnold Snyder's Blackbelt in Blackjack. It will inspire you to go to a level 2 count. It also has the immeasurably valuable Snyder Profit Index. Great for the player who wants to as he puts it "earn his green belt".

Absolutely! That is one of the best books to start with. Definitely read that one before Schlesinger's book.

I'm also throwing in a vote for Blackbelt in Blackjack.

If you are looking for advanced techniques i would suggest the Shuffle Trackers Cookbook. I just orderd a new one called Blackjack Ace Prediction, I will let you know how it is as soon as im done. Other then that I agree that the blackjack bluebook II is a very good read.

I suggest you read as much as you can on the subject. Try going to your library to see if they have any of the book listed in the FAQ to save a few bucks. I also recomend Stanford Wong's Professional Blackjack and Ian Anderson's Turning the Tables in Las Vegas.

Oh yes i didnt even think of burning the tables in las vegas. This book covers alot of subjects that no others books do. His camoflauge is great, and he describes ways to travel with money, how to play for comps, disguises, and many other areas that I have yet to see in any other book. I would recomend this book for any blackjack player who is serious about winning.

I have gotten great tips from "Blackbelt", "Bluebook II", and "Blackjack for Blood".
