I have been learning a Level 1 card counting strategy this past year. I believe I am ready to play BJ in some of my local casinos. I would hate to get backed off so I am asking would a 1-12 spread draw any heat? This spread would be $5 to $60. Thanks
whether or not you can conceal your game
Thank you for your reply...Which book would you recommend to learn this skill....Sorry for the noob questions...
A good starting point would be...
"Professional Blackjack" by Stanford Wong
"Blackjack Attack" by Don Schlesinger
"Blackbelt in Blackjack" by Arnold Snyder
"Burning the Tables in Las Vegas" by Ian Andersen (casino comportment and cover strategies for high stakes players)
Each of those books will mention other books and have a bibliography which will lead you to other books.
Still waiting for a trip report on your midwest adventures this past summer.
This would be the first blackjack book I would read. It is written in easy to understand language and presents the Hi-Low count. The best thing about this book is it gives traditional betting ramps and optimum betting ramps. I can't recall any other blackjack book that gives betting ramps. Most blackjack books just say bet more when the count is positive.
The second book I would read is Professional Blackjack by Wong. It presents the Hi-Low count and the Halves Count.
Blackjack Attack is a good book, but I think it is a difficult read. It has alot of formulas and uses big words when simpler language would make it an easier read.
My personal blackjack bible is Blackjack Bluebook II by Fred Renzey.
I have this book and it was the book that got me started counting...I use KISS 3...Thanks for the reply.
I downloaded Bootlegger's 200 Proof Blackjack to my kindle this morning...Thanks

You were correct. I read the book yesterday and I did like it. Answered many of my noob questions...
And I'll add the " Silver Fox Blackjack System", by Ralph Striker, now deceased. You can see the info that I posted several months ago about that counting system and board member responses to it, if you search back to one of those names or my own.

I also like Blackjack Attack, by Don Schlesinger :-)

Bigplayer mentioned Burning The Tables in Las Vegas by Ian Andersen. This book in fun to read and what Andersen shares concerning the importance of pen is worth its' weight many many times the cost of the book.
was going to write "worth its weight in gold".
By typos, I thought you meant typographical errors, but I guess you meant types of books.
The ones I mentioned are the ones I learned the most from, in addition to, of course, " The Silver Fox Blackjack System", which can be purchased on several websites. I know many of the board members don't like me mentioning this system, but I think it is a great SYSTEM to start learning from!
I'm ready for the attacks!
Don, I'll be leaving soon for my other location, so I'll stay in touch.

"By typos, I thought you meant typographical errors,"
