Beat the Dealer: A Winning Strategy for the Game of Twenty One

This is the granddaddy of all blackjack card-counting books and we recommend that all serious students of the game read it. You won’t use the specific count systems presented, as many more powerful and efficient systems have since become available, but the explanations of how count systems are developed and why they work are invaluable. Plus, Beat the Dealer is a great read, containing many stories about Thorp’s experiences in the casinos of the early ’60s.
