Applied Statistics to the Max

This book applies statistics to the degree it disrupts the 100 years of rules in gambling houses and also inclides good stories. It is generous and feels authentic!

outdated but highly valuable , & insightful

I was very reluctant to buy this book because of so many reviews
about this book being outdated but it's very insightful

the title is beat the dealer and that's exactly what it teaches and informs you on ...not only beating the dealer with counting but also detecting cheats , different methods of cheats and so forth

also gives you idea of how to maneuver in the casinos ....does and don'ts

although this is an old pioneer of literature on card counting most relics are usually useless but this my friend is a useful relic

and you must pay homage to one of the individuals who help legions beat the casinos

if you're serious about card counting no stone should be left unturned

but I will finish with this, .....this book is not necessary to become good in counting

learning
basic strategy
deck estimation
deviations
keeping the running count and true count conversation
along with proper betting is the key

so practice practice practice

literature like this and many others are just really good at keeping you motivated during down time and not becoming burnt out from training


good variance to you :)
