Synopsis

A thorough, "tell it like it is" player's handbook with no unrealistic hype. Beating blackjack is possible, although a challenging task with erratic swings. But few are willing to go the distance to make winning happen. Instead, most players just substitute home spun management betting tactics and play by false "street knowledge" adages learned from others at the table -- which all prove futile over time. <br /> <br /> STEP 1: Blackjack Bluebook II separates fact from fiction with a blackjack IQ quiz that brings to light valuable points most players never realized. Then, a color-coded basic strategy chart is followed by detailed explanations of why several "illogical" plays are in fact correct. <br /> <br /> STEP 2: It then correctly singles out for the more avid player which "borderline hands" should actually be played "against basic strategy" if just a few key cards appear on board. <br /> <br /> STEP 3: Hand Interaction; Learn about the ready made edge in partnering on other players doubles for less, plus how to react to hi card/lo card layouts to bet more or cut back. <br /> <br /> STEP 4: Then for the serious enthusiast, Bluebook II teaches the super-simple Ace/10 Front Count to fully erase the house edge--and the intermediate KISS Count or advanced Mentor Count to actually gain the overall edge in the game. <br /> <br /> Other focal points to hone your understanding and skills are: <br /> Side-bet Facts...................................False blackjack adages <br /> Beware 6-to-5 blackjack................Cost of card counting errors <br /> Soft doubling by the Rule of 9....Nifty 15 camouflage hands <br /> The 'Rule of 45' for 16 vs.10.......True fudging the KISS count <br /> <br /> All in all, 11 color-coded strategy charts, 40 black/white info charts and 60 hand illustrations take the player as far as he/she cares to go in blackjack, one step at a time.
