Hey I got this from Amazon.com - recommendations. The Blackjack Zone: Lessons in Winning at Blackjack and Life (Paperback) by Eliot Jacobson (Author) (1 customer review) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- List Price: $19.95 Has anyone read this and if so what do you think? This also got me to wondering: Are there any other books concerning BJT on the market besides Sanford Wong and Kenny Eineinger? Finally what are your favorite BJ books that you would recommend?
Jacobson's book The Blackjack Zone is a good introduction to the game, primarily targeted at beginning players. No tournament content though. By the way, it's only $7.95 at the BlackjackInfo store: http://www.blackjackinfo.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=21&products_id=61

My personal blackjack library consists of the following Stanford Wong Professional Blackjack Casino Tournament Strategy Arnold Snyder Blackbelt in Blackjack Fred Renzey Blackjack Bluebook II Peter Griffin The Theory of Blackjack Extra Stuff, Gambling Ramblings Ed Thorp Beat The Dealer I think I'd particularly recommend - Beat The Dealer, as a fascinating historical document. The Theory of Blackjack, as the definitive guide to the underlying mathematics of card counting (and yet still somehow managing to be an entertaining read, even when it ventures into areas I don't really understand). Blackbelt in Blackjack, as a practical guide to how to play/count in the casinos of today. * [*] Not that I'm in any position to back up this view with practical experience of my own. The main thing I learned from this book was that attempting to play profitably in UK casinos, under the current rules, is pretty much futile. The 'Snyder Profit Index' is too low.
Whats with Blackwood? The first book I would recommend on Blackjack in generall is Kevin Blackwoods "Play Blackjack like the pros". It contains all you need to know for the beginning. (There is also a small part covering BJ Tournaments in Blackwoods book - I guess Ken Smith wrote it). Wongs books are perfect, without any question. Sirklas
question on training material I just got the Wong software...have you all tried to use it side by side actual tournaments you play or just play made up hands or what?
