You should take a look at the Mayor's reading list:

There are many free tools available through the links at the Card Counters Cafe:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/blackjackcardcounterscafe/links
and some here on this site. It depends on what the reason you are looking for comp software is for the right answer to your question. I prefer to use real cards to practice with, and usually use the software of real onLine casinos to "practice" against.

I'm surprised he included Million Dollar BJ. That books seems a little dated and the APC count is hard (level 3) and not as accurate as AOII. Though the stories are good, you can find more realistic and better ones in LV BJ Diary or BJ Autumn (and probably more suited, since you probably don't have hundreds of thousands of dollars and an army of counters to do team plays). All of the other books are certainly terrific. I would consider Million Dollar BJ the marginal book--if you have the money and you enjoy reading, get this book. If you don't feel like spending another $20 or so, the other 9 books will certainly fill you with enough knowledge to make money at the casinos.

Start here...
...forget 'DD's selection, and forget MDBJ (and forget the CCCafe, if you drop me an email I will send you the complete links-list, the ones that matter) - get Snyder's BBIBJ and BJ678 software, everything else is 'periphery'. zg

MDB is not about learning the system, it is about reading the accounts of Uston's life and team play. The system is not worth a lot with what's known today.
Really, you only need one book with a system to get started. Either KO, or Hi-Lo should be your first system. After that, it is all about learning how to play, how to survive in the heat of casinos and make the best of it.

Re: What OR...
"Either KO, or Hi-Lo should be your first system. "
------
Or, Red7, ZEN, RPC, UBZ2, TH-1, etc. Several make good first systems. zg
