Good book for Blackjack players

I bought this book for my mother and she is finding it an interesting and helpful read.

For the Recreational Player - best money I've ever spent!

Much like the title says, this is the best money I've ever spent with regards to gambling. I'm so pissed I've been playing all these years without reading a book on Blackjack. Sklansky knows his stuff as well as anyone, and he breaks it down into a real easy method that works. Yes - it works! Since I got this book just 2 weeks ago - I've played 3 online sessions - 3 hands at a time, 1 dollar bets each. The sessions - +30, +100, and +28! All you need to do is look at the cards, look up their totals in the book (the second part is broken down into 1-2 page "chapters" by hands - 21, 20, 19, etc.), look at the dealers face card, and do what he tells you! No need to count cards or anything (cant really count onlne anyway). I guess its just basic blackjack strategy - but its supposed to give you a slight (.3%-.5%) edge, assuming a 6 deck shoe, which most online BJ sites use. He recommends memorizing basic strategy, but I've found that by playing online (you could even play practice games) and looking up each hand (takes about 10 seconds a hand), you start to remember what to do in certain situations. He also has a part about counting cards for live play, and I plan on boning up on that just a bit before I play any casino action. But for now - I recommend this book unconditionally - it's already paid for itself 15X over! If you're looking to make money online - this book is essential! Good luck!

The Key Card Concept

David Sklansky' key card concept is a revelation for any player serious for counting. Finally someone places the importance of each individual card that still composes the deck. Sklansky reveals strategies for special situations when certain cards in the deck are depleted or in surplus. These ideas have never been discussed before and lead to a new kind of counting system.
