The best blackjack books in English

Some comments.

  • Wong’s books (the first of these three listed) are for me a starting point for a serious player. Explaining clearly the Hi-Lo and giving them the appropriate references.
  • Just then, Million Dollar BJ, who is undoubtedly the book that changed my life. Classics that Uston’s books that explore all phases of the game (except tracking).
  • Secret Blackjack then take you to the refinement of the game ..
  • In the sixth, but of primary importance, the great Don Schlesinger BJA3 where you can enter deeper in the refinement.
  • Books 7 and 11 are historical references
  • In position 8, TOB Griffin is a must for those who want to go a step further and develop their own ideas. Few top players have not read this classic.
  • In 9 th, Burning the table in Vegas deals camouflage top and apart from his side glamorous only be useful for players who have made significant minimum. For large bankroll.
  • Fortunes Formula is very interesting but you do not learn very much about blackjack. It remains to this day one of my best reads.

Happy reading!
