Summary: Great book!
Comment: One of the best current books on the blackjack market today! I also recommend, Gregorian Strategy for multiple deck blackjack.
Rating: 5
Summary: Fantastic Read
Comment: This book was recommended to me by a friend. Before reading the book I had never gambled before. That was soon to change. The book is incredably readable and even funny. The recounting of his stories concerning the "Act" had me in stitches, imagining him tipping chips all over the place. On a serious note the information is powerful stuff arming you with knowledge to earn yourself quite a tidy sum, if you stick to the rules. Marketing guys often have slogans like "This book will make you rich." It has never been more true than with this book. It is a gold mine. Thanks to John May I have earnt myself a tidy sum and shall continue to do so. Well done John May.

Summary: You must buy this masterpiece of blackjack literature
Comment: As a serious, if recreational, gambler, I really have to commend the writer on the best blackjack book of the modern era.
Modern blackjack doesn't really bear much resemblance to the game talked about in most blackjack books. Casinos don't use single-decks any more, and they know a great deal about card counting, which is the only way of getting an edge most books cover. "Get The Edge" is very, very different. Despite a readable, almost populist style, May has some really incredible ideas.
For example, did you ever consider that the order you throw the cards back to the dealer in could influence your post-shuffle advantage? Sound like sorcery? Maybe, but the method is substantiated with rigorous proof and explanation. These methods are'nt just the subject of pure theory and computer simulation, with many of them May shows you how they work by getting you to try them out with just a deck of cards and a kitchen table.
Where other authors don't even mention the existence of devices like the card shuffling machines commonly used nowadays May not only talks about them but uses the casinos tricks against them. Think you can't beat a continuous shuffling machine? Well, its not easy, but it is possible and May shows you how with reference to real-world casino coups and his incredible perception.
The really bad thing about this book is that May just goes too far with what he is prepared to reveal. Some of us who knew about, for example, card-steering, would prefer he'd left that one out. I made a killing with that trick over the years and publishing it can only make things more difficult for players.
Nonetheless the majority of the book is ground-breaking and innovative, in a way no blackjack book has been since the publication of Thorp's "Beat The Dealer".
