Don’t waste your time with this book. Most of it doesn’t apply to today’s casinos around the world. Plus it requires thousands of hours of practice at home to become proficient.

this book was entertaining, cool storys of kens adventures.
the info on blackjack is a little out dated. (but there will always be 52 cards in a deck, so counting systems should still be useful in todays games.) even though casino rules have changed, it is very possible to change basic strategy to suite the game. then choose a count system to advance your self to a better player.

This was my first blackjack book and I like it a lot. Contains great practical advice for team play, playing single and multiple deck games, camouflage and borderline techniques such as front loading and spooking. Combine this with stories from his team and you have THE book on blackjack.
This book is simply the most comprehensive book out there on the game of blackjack.
The advice on risk of ruin and betting has been improved singe then and there are simpler and better counting systems out there now but this book is still must reading.

I read this book after reading “Playing Blackjack as a Business.” Uston’s stories of the early days in Atlantic City and his work with hidden computers were just great.
This is like two very different books intertwined. The majority of the book is a “how-to” book. There are different counts, flash cards, and lots of advice around how to learn and practice the various techniques. In retrospect, one criticism I have is that Uston doesn’t help much when it comes to deciding which of the many counts in the book to learn. The hardest count (Uston APC) is very hard, and has a side-count of aces. I wish I had known when I first read the book that this count is just not worth it when playing multiple decks. (I first read this book when I was in college.)
The other part of the book is the stories he tells, and these are great. Just great. You get a real feel for what it must have been like to live that kind of life. I now know that the author was a bit of a blowhard, and took credit for some things that others had done (and assigned blame to boneheaded things he did), but he’s the one who took the time and effort to write the book, so he gets to shade history, I guess.
Four stars instead of five because there is no way to decide which count to count. Otherwise, a great book and a great read.
