Overview

From the first turn of the card to getting out of a foreign country with a suitcase full of cash, this is the most comprehensive book ever written on learning to play blackjack for profit. This book covers everything from basic strategy to counting cards, from maximising potential going solo to playing on a blackjack team. Casino competitions, tournaments, location play, shuffle tracking, playing in disguise, outwitting the eye in the sky, and other advantage-play techniques it is all here. Best of all, the techniques you learn can be used part-time as a money-making hobby, just as author Rick Blaine has used them for years while pursuing a career in finance.
