Blackjack: The Real Deal
The gambling boats have come to town, but your blackjack is a little rusty. Not to worry. Vogel is ready to help. This handy little guide explains the basics of the game as it's played casino style--doubling down, splitting your cards, doubling after the split--and then discusses a variety of betting strategies to fit every bankroll. Weekend players will be most interested in the tables: what to do when you've been dealt various combinations in concert with the dealer's up card. The logic behind the charts is persuasively explained, and best of all, it won't take much for motivated readers to memorize the data. Along with tables and facts, Vogel supplies more subjective advice: how to manage money, how to exercise patience and self-control. A sound, commonsensical guide to playing blackjack.Leon Wagner
