This is the 3rd and last edition for author Don Schlesinger, of his Blackjack Attack books. It is his largest and probably best reference book, with well over 500 pages and more than 400 tables and charts.
The book includes a compilation of 13 years of articles that were published through Arnold Snyder’s Blackjack Forum. The Blackjack Forum has been and still is a great resource for any level blackjack player. It also includes brand-new material that has never been published.
Being the third edition, it is targeted at the more advanced blackjack player. If you’re a beginner or less experienced player, you might feel much of it is over your head. Though it reviews the basics, it is for the player who understands basic concepts and is looking to get their game to that next level of profitable blackjack on a consistent basis.
He has gotten contributions from some of the sharpest minds in blackjack research. Working together with these other experts, they explain how they’ve broken new ground in many different ways. Through their research, they feel they have “The World’s Greatest Blackjack Simulation” system. It gives you the complete set of 8-deck charts, optimal betting ramps, risk-of-ruin equations, and how to test the formulas’ accuracy, providing the reader great new research.
What you will find new in this edition are chapters 9, 12, and 13. Respectively, the enhanced SCORE (Standardized Comparison of Risk and Expectation), article, explaining the differences of various blackjack games and card counting systems, is new for chapter 9. Chapter 12 takes you on a walk down the Vegas Strip, and Chapter 13 shows the research on shoe-departure points, as well as risk-averse strategies. And there are new appendices with new and revised tables, strategy expectation tables, how rules variations can effect play, and much, much more.
As a final note, this “Ultimate Weapon” third edition of Blackjack Attack provides essentially all the tools that an advanced blackjack player should have in their arsenal of knowledge, to exact a full-out mugging on the casinos.
