I recently bought the books, "Bringing Down The House" by Ben Mezrich and "Beat The Dealer" by Edward Thorp....

I'm curious as to what additional books you would recommend reading next and in what order should I read them.

Thanks in advance!

You probably will like "Blackbelt in Blackjack" by Arnold Snyder.

He writes in an easy to understand and entertaining style. Also his coverage of the game is pretty complete.

Keep in mind that "Bringing Down the House" was much embellished, with a lot of literary license taken. The other suggested books will be helpful.

Million Dollar Blackjack by Ken Uston is a fun read, even though it's outdated.

Read every book you can get your hands on, both good and bad. The bad info will give you ideas on how to walk and talk like a real gambler with flawed knowledge.

Thanks for all the recommendations, greatly appreciated!

Just about finished with "Bringing Down the House," the author Ben Mezrich is an excellent storyteller!

Blackjack Bluebook II is my blackjack bible. I use the KISS III count explained by Fred Renzey-it gets the $$$. I also really like Burning The Tables in Las Vegas by Ian Andersen. More than once Ian Andersen makes it very clear how important penetration is to a card counter-this alone makes the book extremely valuable. Good cards!
