About the Authors:

By nearly all standards, Kevin Blackwood has led a very intriguing life. Over the last two decades he's been one of the most successful card counters in the world. This unusual and fascinating vocation has provided him with numerous hair-raising stories to share with friends and inspired him to write several books about gambling.

Similarly, Larry Barker also has an unusual background. The youngest Ph.D. in his field at age 23, and later the youngest full professor at 29, Larry has taught hundreds of students and professionals the "ins and outs" of statistics and probability theory. Both Kevin and Larry have been featured in televised blackjack tournaments, and they have successfully beaten the casinos at their own game.
