About this Book

Revised: 03/04/03

1) Table of Contents – The Preface should be p. xvii, and not p. xiv.

2) Page 34 – Change rounded percentages to 6.55% and 10.07%.

3) Page 50 – Next-to-last line of first paragraph: "your true count" doesn't start with a capital. There are several such instances (see, for example, pp. 3, 6, 12, and 13), caused by the fixing of a kerning problem, and there may be one or two more, not noted here.

4) Page 153 – Last paragraph, right in the middle: "At the end of 1,000 hours" should be "1,000 hands."

5) Chapter 10 – 8-deck corrections from Norm Wattenberger:

"There appear to be a few minor errors in the Chapter 10 eight deck tables.

"For example, on page 254 if you take the TC frequency column, multiply by the %W/L column and multiply by the sim bets, divide by 100, you should get the average %W/L. This works for 1-, 2- and 6-deck tables but not 8-deck tables. The problem appears to be one number in each table. The EV %W/L for TC <=0 is incorrect. The number that you have is the %W/L for a TC of 0, not TC <=0. The results all appear to be correct.

"There also appears to be a problem with the tables on pages 268 and 269. The average bets don't come out correctly. It appears that the values that you have for a spread of 1-8 are the values for 1-10 and the values for 1-10 are the values for 1-12. I don't know about the other results. Fortunately, eight deck H17, DAS, LS has got to be a rare game."

6) Page 275 – Page references are 18 numbers too high (should be 276-8 and 286).

7) Page 295 – Table 11.21, second line, reads "TC?RC," instead of "TC/RC."

8) Page 299 – There are some omissions.

Where you read:	It should say:
4.5/6, S17, DAS, LS	4.5/6, S17, DAS, LS, PLAY-ALL
5/6, S17, DAS	5/6, S17, DAS, LS, PLAY-ALL
5.5/6, S17, DAS	5.5/6, S17, DAS, LS, PLAY-ALL
6/8, S17, DAS, LS	6/8, S17, DAS, LS,BACK-COUNT
6.5/8, S17, DAS	6.5/8, S17, DAS, LS, BACK-COUNT
7/8, S17, DAS	7/8, S17, DAS, LS, BACK-COUNT

9) Page 317 – 12 v. 5 index, for the EV, first column, should be –2.

10) Page 345 – Surrender pages should be 71-73, not 71-74.

11) Page 346 – "About The Author" should be "About the Author."

12) Book spine – "way" should be "Way," in the title.
