A Face in the Crowd. DO NOT BUY THIS BLACKJACK BOOK – PART II a.k.a. “Blue Collar Blackjack” an Offering to the Blackjack Gods. Amazon Digital Services; 2012 (853 pages)
Thumbs Up– Excellent. Highly recommended. A blackjack e-book with a sense of humor. An excellent, although long-winded, discussion (from a card-counters perspective) of blackjack games of the past (e.g., single deck, end play, floating advantage). Some great card counting stories and some jewels of information can be found here. It is so long I am still reading it. Who really wrote this book? Let BJRNET know!  May no longer be available on Amazon ???

Review TBD. From the advertising, “I can’t stop severe losing streaks, but I can make them less costly. I’ll show how to make the most horrific losing streak just a bump in the road. If we’re playing with the advantage, it’ll eventually swing our way. That’s when the upside will dwarf anything lost on the worst losing streak. It’s good to know the money we’ve won is ours to keep. Casinos can never get it back with my techniques. Conventional methods have too much risk!!!

Thumbs Up– Not recommended.  I saw this while browsing on the Internet but I couldn’t make out the author name. From the description, “A unique style of play using betting patterns designed to take advantage of hot and cold tables.”  From that description alone I am sure this book is full of nonsense. If anyone knows who the author is, please let me know.
