Has anyone read or seen a review of Scoblete's latest book: Beat Blackjack Now!: The Easiest Way to Get the Edge! Thanks.
 
Hey

I read his book Best Blackjack and really liked it. He writes in a down to earth easy to understand style and makes alot of sense as well.:joker:

Sorry to say this, but the exact same words can be used to describe thousands of bad books. The fact is, claims about the Speed Count are false. Efforts to halt independent analysis were disturbing. The claims that they welcomed independent analysis were duplicitous. The refusal of his teachers to accept independent review from multiple researchers is embarrassing, to put it kindly.
 
Henry Tamburin too

QFIT: Thanks for the information. I just heard an interview done by Steve Bourie of American Casino Guide with Henry Tamburin. It was a general interview and at its end Tamburin plugs Speed Count. He doesn't say it's as powerful as traditional card-counting methods, but he says it's a viable method for a basic strategy player who wants to take the next step toward mastery of the game. After listening, I went to Tamburin's website where he advertises Speed Count courses taught with Frank Scoblete that were sold for eight-hundred dollars.

Isn't Speed Count the same as OPP? (Is it exactly the same?)

First, I have no idea how to prove or disprove the claims that Scoblete makes in his book about Speed Count. So, QFIT could you help me understand what you mean when you said "claims about Speed Count are false"?
 
They claim that it performs close to "professional level strategies." Not slightly close. The differences between SC and OPP don't matter. It is the count that is poor. You simply cannot count tens and sevens the same. This is clear from reading The Theory of Blackjack.

What do you think about the OPP +7 count? Would this count be stonger than OPP or SC because it treats the 7 as +1?
 
Still counts the eight the same. And is more difficult. Cacarulo and I spent quite a bit of time simming many variations. You have to play all kinds of tricks to get them to perform at all. And they end up more complex than KO.

Thanks for your reply. Also, thanks for all you do to help the general public understand the game of Blackjack.:1st:

Your first sentence is true-but I never found his writing to be hocus pocus. He offers good advice. I know nothing about the Speed Count.:joker:

Your H. L. Mencken quote is one of my favorites. Afraid I can't agree with the post. Telling people that they can beat the casinos with a couple hours, or even a weekend of work, is dangerous advice.
