Customer Reviews

very well written book

I bought this book a few months ago, and keep coming back to it. Very well written, with lots of info. on discipline, keeping your emotions in check, winning expectations, etc., which is very important to getting out of the casino with money. I like the authors progression, which although I don't believe gives you a mathematical advantage over the house, it does bring you closer to it. I don't agree with all the advice, but overall there is a lot of material here. And if it works for him after playing 20,000 hands, then he may be on to something. I've tried counting, and agree with the author that suffering through the huge swings in your bankroll isn't very practical for the recreational gambler that bets in $5/$10 units. Plus it can take an awefully long time for the law of averages to even things out. I know the critics of progressions/regressions say they don't work, but if you can have fun with them and make some money, why not use them? An excellent, easy to read book. Try it, or modify his methods and see what happens. I've been having good results so far.

This works but you do have to practice and apply what you learn.

Bought this book this past spring. Have been playing blackjack for over 9 years now. Have tried it all, positive and negative progressions, card counting etc., and let me tell you that this is the best thing I have ever used or seen in print. Mr. Moore has a strategy that is both easy to use and does win most of the time. I read the book 5 times and took a great deal of notes. Then I practiced about 2 to 3 hours every single day for 7 weeks. Finally I went to Las Vegas for a 6 day trip. I played 20 sessions in a little over 15 hours of total play. I won 70% of my sessions and 700 dollars profit. I then used it again in Tunica a few weeks ago. This time I played for a little over 34 hours and won 1855 dollars. So this thing can and does work. You must read and apply what it is that he teaches in the book. Expect to win only about 30 to 40 dollars an hour placing 10 dollar bets. If you go in knowing that this is what you can expect to win, then you are well on your way to being a very good blackjack player. No card counting involved and a strong basic strategy is included in the book. Just a great manual. If you have any questions you can also email Mr. Moore at the books website and he will give you a prompt reply as he has done for me many times. Get this book and use what it teaches you.
