5 out of 5 stars Smart, easy to use card counting system   January 26, 2000

Mathematically very sound and easy to read, this book presents an unbalanced 10-count system. This system's playing efficiency is quite good(.61), and because it is an unbalanced system with the pivot point at the 2.0 non-ten/ten ratio it has a perfect insurance correlation. It's betting correlation is weak compared to more complex counting systems, but with a separate ace count the BC can be brought above 0.90. Because of the ease of keeping count, and with the pivot point at the point of betting favorability, I think this is a good system to use for multiple deck games (though when it was written single-deck games predominated, and the initial chapters are written for single-deck games). I have used this system to good effect. If you want a system for shoe games where you can have an advantage over the casino, yet can keep an accurate count and still relax, this may be the system for you.

This book has blown away my concept of 21. I am now going to go on to explore the other methods available for counting, but first I am going to test this system it sounds so good. The charts are so detailed it makes everything so logical! One of my notes about a chart on the changing significance of point count is as follows: "the slope denotes magnification of deck depletion on point count relavance." wow!
