A blackjack book by Stanford Wong
The 256-page Basic Blackjack book presents basic strategy and expected value for almost
every unusual rule variation ever offered. Examples of rules covered: no hole card to
dealer, doubling down on three or more cards, splitting when there is a bet riding that
will go on one hand and not have to be matched with a like bet on the other hand, early
surrender, five-card hands can be turned in for a half win, over/under, multiple action,
double exposure.
Basic Blackjack also contains interesting tables, such as: probabilities of final
dealer totals by upcard; probability of untied naturals by number of decks; and which
hands have a positive expected value, by dealer upcard.
This blackjack book also explains how techniques for winning at blackjack without counting cards:
tells, warps, front loading, spooking, etc., that first appeared in Winning Without
Counting, an out-of-print classic that initially sold for $200 per copy. These are legal
methods of getting an edge at blackjack in games where the dealer manually looks under a
10 to see if the hole card is an ace. Most casinos no longer employ this procedure, so
this material no longer commands a $200 price tag. But if you happen to discover a casino
where the dealer peeks under 10s, be aware that you might be able to employ the methods
described in this book to make money quickly. Example: a "tell" is where the
dealer's body language involuntarily discloses information about the hole card.
