Rezensionen

From the reviews:

"As the title suggests, Risk and Reward: The Science of Casino Blackjack is a book about strategies for increasing your chances of winning the game of Blackjack. ... The author makes the book accessible to a variety of audiences by presenting the strategies separately from the mathematical analysis. ... It is well organized, flows nicely and cites previous works. ... Overall, the book is an entertaining and stimulating read for both mathematicians and casino goers." (Michael Rowell, The Mathematical Association of America, December, 2009)

"This book, based on the author's own research as well as that of many others, describes current knowledge. Although aimed at serious Blackjack players, it begins with a full description of the game, including common variants, followed by an outline of the Basic Strategy, with hints of why some of these recommendations are made." (John Haigh, The Mathematical Gazette, Vol. 94 (531), November, 2010)
