Basic Blackjack

Basic Blackjack
by Stanford Wong

This 256-page 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. Wong's impressive text contains proper basic strategy for just about every rule variation and "bonus" (side bet, coupon, etc) that has ever been offered. It also tells you how to estimate the value of each of these variations.
You should know what to expect before you buy this book. This book is extremely successful at what it tries to do, but it won't help your game much. If you are like most card counters, you probably play a game that has the same rules (i.e. Las Vegas or Atlantic City) you probably won't encounter any of these variations and therefore have no need to memorize his charts. So the only reason to buy this book is to have it as a reference guide or if you find it interesting to read about all of the rule variations, side bets, and bonuses that the casinos have to offer.
