About the Author

In January 2003, Arnold Snyder who is one of the great legends of blackjack, was elected one of the seven charter members of the "Blackjack Hall of Fame." Snyder is a high-stakes professional blackjack player who has been writing about casino blackjack for over two decades. His first book, The Blackjack Formula (1980), revolutionized the ways professional card counters attacked the games. From 1981-2004, he was the publisher of Blackjack Forum, a quarterly journal on gambling for professional players. He has authored hundreds of articles on casino blackjack in dozens of publications in the past twenty years. He has appeared (in disguise) on the Travel Channel, and in The Hot Shoe, a 2003 video documentary on card counting.

5.0 out of 5 stars Consider this the bible
Reviewed in the United States on September 5, 2013

I bought this to learn how to play blackjack switch. It's one of those "carnival" games that generally have terrible odds. This game is the exception. Indeed, the house edge on a well played switch game is about the same as a single deck BJ game paying full--not the 6:5 ripoff--amount on a player blackjack, and the dealer standing on all 17's. Wynn pulled it from their casino--that's right, you can't even play the game at Wynn and I can guess why. The book's explanations and instructions are clear, reasonably concise, and truly invaluable. As a die hard BJ basic strategy player for many years, I think BJ switch is a real blast. Try it, you'll like it.

5.0 out of 5 stars EVERYTHING you ever wanted to know about the game, and then some.
Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2017

Certainly everything you'd ever want to know about Blackjack - and likely more than a little that you really didn't care about.

I found the history to be a bit Long-winded, but I suppose that may interest some people.

This book will help you to better understand the game, and in turn, prepare you to be a better player.

Some basic card-counti g the uniques are included - which is really too much work for me, but some people will enjoy it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Everything Except Counting
Reviewed in the United States on July 4, 2008

Just about the entire book deals with
the history, casinos, terminology, side
bets, and the like. Fortunately there
is some info on basic strategy and an
unbalanced count, but don't expect this
book to prepare you to take on the casinos.
An interesting read for those with a
passing interest in BJ, or for a brand
new student of the game.

5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite book about Blackjack
Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2019

Arnold Snyder is my favorite Blackjack author. This book is a must read for any blackjack enthusiast. Great history lessons combined with just enough about theory of the game and well thought out strategies. Gives credit where it is due. All of his books have been good, but this is by far my favorite.

5.0 out of 5 stars but over all I really enjoyed this book
Reviewed in the United States on October 7, 2016
Verified Purchase
Very interesting book. A lot more history on the game than I initially thought, but over all I really enjoyed this book. I enjoy reading some of Snyder's articles on the Blackjack Forum so I figured I'd give this book a try. I'm glad I did, I enjoyed this book very much. Looking forward to reading Snyder's "Blackbelt in Blackjack" next.

Jahrezehntelange Erfahrung als Spieler, Tüftler und Innovator fliessen mit ein in dieses großartige Buch. Was dieses Buch so wertvoll macht ist die sehr gute Recherche, besonders im Bereich der Entstehung des Blackjack-Spiels, die in dieser Form erstmals so detailreich veröffentlicht wurde.
