I have blackjack attack the 2000 edition and i was wondering if it was worth spending the money and getting the revised 2008 edition. Does it really have information that i really need or will the 2000 edition work just as good?
I own the 1st edition and the 3rd edition revised 2005. Aside from the cover illustration of Caesars under nuclear attack (I wonder who thought that one up), there are over 200 more pages of information, charts and tables, that quite frankly many of which are "above my payscale" (to quote Mr. Obama).
Included in the most recent edition are a set of basic strategy charts for 1-2 and multi-deck games that are not included in earlier editions. Don says these are, without a doubt, correct and the best ever published. They are unique for sure and, for the games that I play, are a bit more aggressive than your standard, game specific, basic strategy charts.
I have adopted these charts and feel that alone they are worth the price of the book.
Hope this helps,
Cobbson
Thanks for the advice I just purchased the newer version online. Cant wait for it to get here. I really need some help on betting strategy. Does this newer version explain how to calculate your betting spread?
I think you will have your questions answered.
I have been very pleased with Don's and Wong's books. Well worth the investments.
You know Stanford
This is probably the best post of the month! ;)
