The first great blackjack book of the 21st Century is here. This explosive new best-seller is the product of a monumental and historic computer research project resulting in the first new and better way to approach the game in more than four decades! Las Vegas gaming expert
--Howard Schwartz echoed that sentiment in a glowing recommendation on casinogaming.com, saying it "(blazes) new territory."
Written by one of world's foremost blackjack innovators, Cutting Edge Blackjack is packed with leading-edge new techniques. The chapter that teaches you how to identify the face-down cards at 1- and 2-deck tables is worth the price alone.
Another first is the author's identification and correcting of mistakes and faulty assumptions made by past researchers. The computer is just a research tool. You must use it carefully to arrive at the truth. Mr. Harvey's research began with a new twist: with the exacting shuffling, dealing and card collection as is done by casino dealers, to uncover many heretofore undiscovered phenomenon that occur with the actual handling of cards. Older studies that only simulated the game, using the computer's random number generator to invent pretend rounds of blackjack, were missing the point: the cards do NOT play out randomly, as you will see! Mr. Harvey's revelations about how to profit from the non-random nature of standardized dealer shuffling, for instance, are awesome (and if you don't know where the cards go during the shuffle, this book is a must read)!
This book leaves the others in the dust! Here are some other things you'll learn about:
An amazing method to uncover the identity of the dealer's hole card!
New discoveries revealing when each of the dealer's up cards is vulnerable -- information from which you can really profit. (Every up card has its weak and its strong periods, and you will learn to identify these phases!)
How dealer up card realities, such as busting rates, are NOT constant, but are in constant flux! The old ways based upon "constants" are therefore faulty!
A new, flexible, mathematically more accurate Real-time Card Strategy that adjusts to the realities of the cards that have been dealt.
Newly-discovered repeating phenomena, from shuffle to shuffle, which open up all kinds of avenues by which you can take advantage of them.
New betting spot behavior discoveries, which resulted in new methods for more precise betting, and scientific loss limits that tell you exactly when to leave.
Strategic Card Analysis: the author's invention that teaches you to understand (like a language) what the cards are telling you, to predict future events.
How to benefit from the many predictable elements of the game (some newly-uncovered!). Predict what the hole card is; what your hit card will be; etc.
How to understand and profit from the concept of mathematical probability.
A powerful new way to mathematically predict the dealer's likely outcome!
How dealer shuffling affects your game -- and how to make money off this! (Find out where to put the cut card! Or how to adjust your bet if someone else does it!)
Newly-discovered repeating phenomena, and how to use these to your benefit.
How the relative supply of each card affects your fortunes in the future.
How the number of players affects your likelihood of winning! Plus, the necessary adjustments you must make when the number of players changes.
A scientific new measure of how good the table is for you.
AND THERE'S MUCH, MUCH MORE! No other book can touch this!

Re: Cutting Edge BJ? YOU SHOULD...
Time constraints prevented me from reading deep into the book (in Vegas for the weekend), but there was one chapter that caught my eye, but I'm not sure if it's grounded on much fact. He says that you can predict the cards in a pitch game by seeing who hits what. The most extreme case is in a single-level count, if someone hits and receives a 10 and then hits and receives a 5 and stands. It would seem that there are 2 small cards, right? What if the cards were A/small? Anyway, he gives some stats for how likely each card can be in that hand.
Unfortunately, the bookstores around my area don't carry this book.
If anybody decides to get this book, let me know.

Re: Cutting Edge BJ? YOU SHOULD..see.....
Wong's BJ Secrets, pages 62-63, entitled "Temporary Correction".
He recommends adjusting the RC *temporarily*, based on the actions of other players at the table. The adjusted RC is reset to the original RC after completion of the particular play strategy. He mentions a few adjustments, the two that I remember analyzing (and the two most significant) were:
Other plyrs action = TempCorr
stand pat(2) v pat = -1
hit(any) vs. stiff = +1
The plays are mathematically sound, based on hand frequencies. I did some fairly in-depth work on this a little while back, I could dig up the files if you are interested in more plays, but the effects are not substantial. I can say this, after doing the analysis it would seem foolish not to use the information given to you (by their actions).
As for the Harvey book, the little that I've heard of him, has been negative. I must admit some topics in the book sound intruiging, but seems a little too gimmicky.
