The 256-page book Basic Blackjack 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.
Basic
Blackjack also contains interesting tables, such as: probabilities of final dealer totals
by upcard; probability of untied naturals by number of decks; and which hands have a
positive expected value, by dealer upcard.
This book also explains techniques for winning at
blackjack without counting cards: tells, warps, front loading, spooking, etc., that first
appeared in Winning Without Counting, an out-of-print classic that initially sold for $200
per copy.
