      gza do u wanna learn to count cards playing blackjack?
      if your local casino still deals out of a shoe and doesnt cut 2.5-3 decks out of shoe. lots of money to be made.

        good book

        back in the day Sammy liked 'Playing Blackjack as a Business' by Lawrence Revere (alias) a tad better for practical application

        it was said Uston used one of Revere's top tier Counts when he played

          revere got many systems. uston differs from revere as he has a -3 +3 system ... with 8 deck shoe u cant get anything better.

              the real problem is getting ur money down. very seldom to find a bj shoe game where they arent cutting out 2.5-3 decks.... thats if u can find a shoe game. most are ASM now

              in canada u wont find shoe games unless u play in the $100 high limit room tables in most casinos you need to have a decent size roll to beat the $25 min tables let alone $100

                  Anything from Frank Scoblete is a good read. Mike Sexton’s book is good too.

                        Blackjack cannot be beat with the deck penetration they have now.

                                    I read it 15 years ago so don’t recall much of the details, but I do remembering enjoying it and it being a good shitter book because the chapters were fairly short and could stand alone and you could finish one chapter per crap.
