    A must have for any serious Blackjack player's library!
  

*by C***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 31, 2012*

I just downloaded this book the other day so I haven't read this kindle translation completely yet BUT I bought the original version in book form written in 1983 plus every other updated version cause I wanted to have every edition cause honestly "Blackbelt in Blackjack" written by Arnold Snyder is EASILY one of the absolute best books ever written on the subject of Casino Blackjack and I'm really glad it finally came to kindle form, I wished all the other great Blackjack books were on kindle also but they are coming over slowly, this book is a must have for any serious Blackjack players library, the only negative thing I can say about this book really is the explanation of the Red 7 count within it's details how you should play an advanced strategy in the 2nd half of a shoe with the rounded index plays which is good but a simple strategy with only 6 deviations in the first half at different running counts which is confusing, I understand that a specific count is higher in the second half compared to the first but why not come to some kind of average and make it simple like the KO count did in their book? why use 2 different charts? and I believe the simple strategy is in Arnold Snyder's other book "The Big Book of Blackjack" in a nice chart easy to see, in this book it's in the text but not well organized or easy to see, only the advanced strategy is in a easy to see organized chart which isn't in Snyder's Big Book of Blackjack, that one only has the simplified playing strategy so the playing strategy for Red 7 is definitely confusing when the count was made to be easier to understand and use supposedly since it's an unbalanced count and in particular the betting ramp is way off as well, it's extremely conservative and just way too sloooooooooow the way it's recommended in this book in my view and honestly surprising cause Snyder is one of the greatest Blackjack Authors and researchers of all time undoubtedly so it's a shock he would make such a mistake on this and not correct it after all this time, for the shoe game in particular you will never see the super high counts to even be able to bet much money according to the recommended bet spread at each count in this book so your spread will be forced to stay super low for the most part plus a pathetic 1-8 spread on a shoe game isn't enough to beat the game really cause you need about double that to have a decent expected win so the betting portion should have been updated in this latest version to a much more accurate and lucrative chart honestly with a higher spread raising your bets much sooner and hitting your top bet much sooner also, Snyder is a really smart guy and he knows the game inside and out so I would assume that he would have printed a much more accurate and profitable betting ramp for the Red 7 Count as well as made the strategy index plays a little more concrete and easy to understand similar to what Fuchs and Vancura did for their KO count in their great book but Snyder made it more confusing for whatever reason as well as he never updated it and he invented the Red 7 Count so he should be the guy to explain it in detail with the absolute best betting ramp and deviations but I will only knock the rating down 1 star for that cause I really wanted to use the Red 7 Count because it was a genius invention on the part of Snyder inventing it cause it takes advantage of small advantages in the count early in the deck or shoe that the KO for example don't which is good about this count, the KO under bets a lot early in the deck or shoe with small advantages where the Red 7 under bets potentially a little bit late in the deck or shoe but due to the inaccuracies with the betting ramp outlined in this book which has never been updated and the index play variations which are a little confusing I can't really use the Red 7 count and have any confidence with it but overall besides that this book is still very good with it's information and explanations on other counts like the Zen and Hi-Lo Light, one of the best books out there on the game of Blackjack, full of great information if you disregard the Red 7 problems and it should be in every serious blackjack players library for sure!
