'Blackjack Count Master' is an excellent companion book for their training software. Players who want to learn how to count cards, but don't know where to start, will find that this book has everything you need. Each chapter walks players through exercises that start with basic strategy and end with counting and indices. Each of the 15 exercises is designed specifically for Blackjack Counter and/or Expert, so readers will want to purchase these products for sure (they are not included with the book). A discount bundle is available from DeepNet that includes everything for first-time users: the book, Blackjack Counter, Blackjack Expert, and the HighLow count system database.
A unique aspect of the book is that each exercise has a pass/fail guide, letting players know exactly when they are ready to move onto the next stage. This powerful approach really helps players avoid the common pitfall of playing in casinos with a high error rate, and actual negative expectation.
"Blackjack Count Master" is over 100 pages in length, and includes a number of supplementary chapters that go well beyond simple tutorials. The "Playing for Real" section provides practical advice and common mistakes beginners fall prey to as they transition from their kitchen table to the casino. The "Fine Tuning your Game" chapter provides detailed analysis and guidance of advanced techniques such as Wonging and bet spreading. Appendix chapters are included on "Double Deck Blackjack" with audited strategy tables, and a "Knock-Out" chapter provides a good statistical comparison of this popular unbalanced count system to HighLow.
Overall, the book is a surprisingly detailed training regimen that can be used with any card counting system (although the author uses HighLow throughout for all examples). "Blackjack Count Master" is currently available only as an e-book in Adobe Acrobat PDF format, and is priced at $22.50 (US). Sample chapters and further descriptions are available online at the DeepNet web site: www.deepnettech.com/cmbook.html.
