SynopsisFrom 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. The book covers everything from basic strategy to counting cards, from maximising 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 will 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. This revised edition contains new information on getting reimbursed for airline tickets to casino destinations, negotiating and optimising rebates on gambling losses, hiding chips and disguising wins, security while on blackjack-related websites, mitigating the risk of identity theft by casino and credit-agency employees, and protecting your personal privacy when making large cash transactions at casinos., 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.
