For most of us, the game of blackjack provides
excitement and entertainment--and somewhat erratic results. But
hey, you started with $100, and you were prepared to stop as soon
as you lost it. And that's exactly what the casinos count on. The
fact is that few of us understand how to play blackjack correctly.
While we may know the basic rules and even a few betting strategies,
we still manage to lose our stakes over and over again. Gambling
columnist and blackjack expert Mike "Bootlegger" Turner has written
the perfect guide to help the average player turn the tables. Bootlegger's
200 Proof Blackjack provides the rules and tools for beating
the casinos at their own game.
Bootlegger's 200 Proof Blackjack
begins by explaining the basics of blackjack. It then examines and
analyzes the most effective strategies for increasing your odds
of winning. Included are discussions of money management for strategic
play, tips for avoiding common pitfalls, and a unique section on
using the casinos' promotional money to play. For more passionate
players, the book offers easy-to-follow instructions on the best
card counting systems available--the systems that casinos absolutely
don't want you to know about. Throughout the book, full-color examples
of card-hands illustrate and clarify plays and strategies.
If you have no problem giving the casinos your
hard-earned wages, this book is not for you. But if you enjoy walking
out with the casino's money, as well as your own, Bootlegger's
200 Proof Blackjack is the place to start your winning education.
Mike
"Bootlegger" Turner has studied and played the game of blackjack
for over thirty years. His articles on blackjack have appeared in
newspapers and gambling magazines throughout North America, as well
as on numerous gambling websites. Mr. Turner and his family reside
in Ohio.
