Book Synopsis

Learn to beat multiple deck blackjack without counting cards! With the right knowledge, anyone can win money playing blackjack: Wait -- don't you have to be able to count cards in order to win? Not necessarily! If you're a casual or recreational blackjack player who would like to win consistently without having to count cards, this book is made for you. In fact, the techniques described here are the same ones used by professional players when they are not counting. Most books on blackjack fall into one of two categories: they either oversimplify the game for rank beginners, or they describe complex card-counting methods for advanced and professional players. What you're holding in your hands is a truly unique book. Designed for novices as well as for advanced players who want to win without the strain of counting cards, Beat Multiple Deck Blackjack is an easy-to-read, no-frills book packed with winning strategies.
