Interesting read. Presents strategies for card counting etc clearly. Some info about the maths used to work out the probabilities, however nothing comprehensive in that respect.

Great book. My book came a little damaged, but anyway, I can still read it. Tells you everything in great depth. Defiantly worth getting

Good insight into life in the ’60’s and this guy changed the way to bet in casinos forever! So the casinos changed too! Thorp took them on and won! He then took his formulato the stock market and won there too! Clever Maths geek!

Excellent.

This is the grandaddy of them all, the book that started the counting craze.
Its worth buying for the sake of completeness if you have a collection of Blackjack books, personally I think there are easier to read books on the subject.
