It covers many rules variations that the previous edition did not cover. It contains simulation results to replace the "best guesses" in previous editions. Appendixes C, D, and E are new material in this edition. Parts of the previous edition were removed and expanded into another book, Black.jack Secrets. The main part involved was the chapter entitled "How to Win Without Getting Kicked Out." After you master card counting, you will want to read Blackjack Secrets to learn how to get away with it in a casino. Professional Blackjack is a reference book for card counters. It contains a virtually complete set of strategy numbers for the high-low counting system. The num- bers in this book have been objectively derived on a computer. This material has been thoroughly tested in casinos throughout the world. Win rates herein are estimates based on simula- tions by Blackjack Count Analyzer. The win rates con- 5 tained in this book are based on simulations totaling more than ten billion hands of blackjack. You can buy this software and reproduce almost any strategy recom- mendation and almost any win rate in this book. Small parts of this material first appeared in one or another of the newsletters: Stanford Wongs Blackjack Newsletter, Current Blackjack News, Blackjack World, and Nevada Blackjack. (Of those, only Current Black- jack News is still published.) Thanks to the people who read pre-publication copies and whose suggestions have made this a better book: Anthony Curtis, Michael Dalton, Dave Douglas, Frank Polo, Donald Schlesinger, and John Speer. This book can be improved. If you find passages that are wrong, or if your questions go unanswered, please put your comments in writing and email them to me at
