Blackjack Blueprint: A Complete Plan for Playing 21 Like a Pro Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

A how-to text for blackjack players explaining the most beneficial way to use products and information currently available in the market to beat the game. This book covers strategies ranging from beginner to sophisticated team-lay concepts.

Synopsis:

The buzzword in blackjack these days is MIT. Last year's best-selling book Bringing Down the House, along with several TV documentaries, have chronicled the casino exploits of this team of college students and focused national attention on the fact that casino blackjack can be highly profitable when played properly. Living the high life by beating the casinos at their own game is an exhilarating prospect--only most players lack the skills. Blackjack Blueprint shows you how to play like a pro. From the first turn of the card to getting out of a foreign country with a suitcase full of winnings, this is the most comprehensive training manual for blackjack players ever written. Blackjack Blueprint teaches the same strategies that the MIT players used to "break Vegas," including a few that they never disclosed. And best of all, these techniques can be employed part-time as a money-making hobby, just as the author, Rick "Night Train" Blaine, has applied them for years while maintaining his day job at a New York Fortune 500 company.

Synopsis:

From the first turn of the card to getting out of a foreign country with a suitcase full of cash, BLACKJACK BLUEPRINT 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 maximizing potential going solo to playing on a blackjack team. Casino comps, tournaments, location play, shuffle tracking, playing in disguise, outwitting the eye in the sky, and other advantage-play techniques--it's all here. Best of all, the techniques you learn in BLACKJACK BLUEPRINT 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.
