Playing Blackjack as a business is a very good book. Even though it came out in 1973. The content and all the tables and graphs, are the results of billions of hands simulated from a computer. The results then were put to use by the author in casinos. The results were lots of earned income from money won from playing blackjack. On top of that the arthur was so good at winning he was barred from all the casinos. The strategies can still be used today, especially the famous basic strategy.

In the 70's Mr. Lawrence Revere, author of Play Blackjack as a Business, instructed me on a method of earning a living playing blackjack. His methods in this book worked then and now. He made himself available for private tutoring which simply polished your skills once you learned, practiced, played for months, and again practiced every day then you meet with him and your a professional. I have studied many other systems nothing works like the Lawrence Revere method. On occasion I buy this book and give them away to friends who have a love of the game. I was single then, bought a motor home and lived in the parking lots of casinos in Reno played every night followed the rules and never bet more than $15.00 per hand and would work 2 hours a night and average $75.00 per hour profit. Not bad income for such a small investment. I have bet larger amounts and the earnings are proportionate to your bet. It is not as easy as you may think. You must practice each and every day for no less than an hour. I did exactly as the book instructed and when playing at the old Harold s Club they would shuffle each hand. Across the street at the Riverside they asked me to leave. In Carson City the casinos there would stop my play and always buy me a stake and lobster meal but ask that I not play blackjack. That is when I contacted Mr. Revere and learned how to play and not be detected as a counter. I seldom play now but for the last 30 years I have won tens of thousands of dollars and never been detected as a counter. I prefer a single deck game where they deal deep in the deck and you can go to the casinos off the strip in Vegas and find those games also in the smaller casinos in Sparks. Where I clean up now is on cruise ships. Counting does not work where they shuffle often but if you play the Reveere method and you can't count cards due to shuffling you have even odds with the house. Mr. Reveere died of Cancer in the late 70's what a loss and what a mind. His book is worth buying. You will find it enjoyable and if you work at it profitable. May as well pay for your trips to Reno, Vegas or Atlantic City. Thanks Mr. Reveere for enhancing my life. LarryRead full review
I'm a blackjack dealer and I was fasinated how blackjack play really works. This is one of the best books that was ever written on blackjack! I have also read beat the dealer which the author praises in this book but I think it is even better than beat the dealer! If you read this book the next time you go to the blackjack tables you will lose a lot less money or even walk away with a few dollars in your pocket instead of in the casinos!!! It tells you how much mistakes will cost you, such as staying on 16 vs a dealers ace cost you 15% you bet $10 and thats a $1.50!!! Since reading this book and using the methods in this book I have been consistinly winning at Blackjack I went 7 sessions in a row without a single losing session before losing about 25% of my winnings back in the 8th session these where with exceptionally good rules though. Note this book did not give me all my blackjack knowledge but it gave me a lot of it. If you just want to learn basic stragedy go to www.hitorstand.net and play the stragedy game and you will learn basic stragedy pretty well.Read full review
