I have played recreational casino Blackjack for nearly fifty years. I keep current on Blackjack literature and understand the Theory of Blackjack. The problem with most expert analysis of the game is that once they gave average players Basic Strategy, they forgot about us. The experts turned their attention to various card counting systems and other forms of advantage play. This book is for the thousands of Basic Strategy Blackjack players who do not understand where that level of skill will bring them after several hundred hours of play. What effect, if any, do Stop Loss techniques and Progressive Betting regimen have on outcomes? Is Basic Strategy always the best method for playing all hands? What does convergence on expected outcomes look like over the long run? What other factors besides playing and betting strategy affect long term results? This book fills a vacuum in the Blackjack literature. The experts won't tell you. The casinos sure as hell won't. Let a veteran Blackjack player fill you in.
