Synopsis
Learn from two Vegas pit bosses and their 21 winning spree Bored and sensing a shift in the management wind at the casino where he worked, author Andrew Uyal learned how to count cards from his supervisor, Mark Stevens, an expert blackjack player who beat the gambling joints on his days off. Twenty-five-year-old Andrew was recently divorced, had a young son to support, and was ready for a challenge that offered mental stimulation, financial profit, and even a taste of danger. Andrew and Mark started small, with low stakes and hit-and-run incursions into the Las Vegas locals' casinos. Their familiarity with the inner workings of casino personnel allowed them to quickly determine what their antagonists behind the tables were doing and why they were doing it and how Andrew and Mark could use that knowledge against them. Their intimacy with casino procedures, however, didn't protect them from the adversity that came with being a card counter. No blackjack book has ever been written from such a deep-rooted behind-the-scenes perspective as Blackjack Insiders . You'll ride along with the two rogue pit bosses as they take on casino after casino in city after city, experiencing wild bankroll swings and being viewed and treated like criminals. In the end, after burning out casinos across the country, Andrew and Mark took a tally and found themselves with a problem everyone dreams of having: "Where do we put all of this money?", Bored on the job and sensing a shift in the management winds at the casino where he works as a floor supervisor, Andrew Uyal learns how to count cards.

Their familiarity with the inner workings of casino table games allows the card counting duo to quickly determine what their opponents in the pit are doing, why they're doing it, and how those actions can be countered.

- p***o (19)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseI bought this book over thirty years ago because I wanted to learn about climate change. In spite of the age, the book is still on point and the explanations are excellent. I jettisoned my original copy in one of my silly "de-cluttering" episodes. Pro tip - never throw away books! eBay and Zuber rescued me from my folly. The used copy was at least as good as my original, properly packaged and promptly delivered. Totally positive experience! Would not hesitate to buy from this seller again!
