Before I moved to Europe, I had some books on gambling, but the Post Office lost my box. I doubt I would find any good books written in English here, but I could order them online if I knew some titles.
I also have a question about Black Jack. It seems like the dealer gets an inordinant number of ten-value cards, and aces. There have been times where I've counted, and it seemed statistically impossible. For example, in 20 hands, the dealer got a 10 or Ace as the first card in 17 hands. What is the strategy people use for beating the House? What are the most common mistakes?
When I play Black Jack, this is what typically happens: I start playing with $50. I usually double that or go slightly higher, perhaps to $140. Then, even though I try to continue playing at this steady pace, I begin to lose, even though I'm adhering to the same basic principles. Is this a common mistake? What am I doing wrong?
