BJI Newsletter, Sept. 2008, #104

A WORD FROM HENRY

Our main focus in this newsletter each month is, of course, on blackjack. But, we are realists and know that many advantage blackjack players also like to play other games where it's feasible to get the edge. So we periodically write about other casinos games where it's mathematically possible to do so. For example, in last month's BJI, we had a ground-breaking article on how to get the edge on specific slot machines. This month, we've got the skinny on how to get the edge playing jacks or better video poker games (courtesy of Jean Scott, who will be writing a "Jean Scott on Video Poker" column bi-monthly in BJI); how to get an edge in roulette (courtesy of Laurance Scott, a well-known professional roulette player); how to get the edge playing Texas Hold'em by poker pro Bill Burton (Bill's column this month is on how to size up a game); and a teaser on dice control from Frank Scoblete (see below for details).

On the blackjack side of things, Joe Pane visited Costa Rica and gives us a glimpse of the blackjack playing conditions including some unique "casino heat;" Alan Krigman discusses the pros (and cons) of spreading to two spots when you play blackjack; Frank Scoblete and his team of reporters provide the update on the current state of the blackjack games in each casino in Atlantic City (and they are getting worse); The Babe describes his adventure trying to win a million bucks in a recent blackjack tournament; and million dollar tournament winner Sammy Vaughn provides a glimpse of what it was like in Sin City circa 1958 when he first came to town at the tender age of 18 (with the goal of "just wanting to drink beer and getting laid"). We also have our usual schedule of upcoming major blackjack tournaments courtesy of www.blackjacktournaments.com.

What would you say if THE Playboy magazine contacted you and said they wanted to do a story about your gambling prowess? That's exactly what occurred with BJI writer Frank Scoblete ... a Playboy magazine writer wanted to do a story on dice control, and who best to contact but Frank, and his partner the Dominator. Read Frank's article, Playboy Magazine Wanted Me!, for the details, and then make a mental note to get the October issue of Playboy magazine (on sale beginning Sept. 9) to read the article Shoot-Out in Vegas - Meet the Five Horsemen.

I will be teaching another Golden Touch Blackjack course the weekend of October 18/19 in Las Vegas. You'll learn Speed Count, the Optimum Basic Playing Strategy, conservative and aggressive betting, bankroll and risk and ruin, and lots more. This is a hands-on course; over 50% of the time will be spent practicing in our simulated casino. Class size is limited; only a few spots remain. BJI subscribers get a $100 discount. This is our last class in 2008. For more information call 1-866-946-2521.

Many of you know that I've been a contributing writer for Casino Player magazine for over 20 years, and currently I write their Total 21 column each month. Under the management of Editor-in-Chief Adam Fine, I've watched the magazine grow to become the most successful publication for casino players of all time. Unfortunately, Adam recently suffered a brain aneuyrysm and stroke, and he passed away on 8/25/08. He was only 39 years old. Ironically, the last email I received from Adam was a request for his BJI password (which he misplaced). May he rest in peace.

On a more cheerful note, my father-in-law is living proof that you are never too old to learn video poker. My wife and I celebrated his recent 90th birthday with an overnight stay at a casino in Biloxi, and would you believe he hit not one, but two royal flushes in 24 hours. Oh, and by the way, he was also dealt a royal flush just three weeks ago (at 650,000 to 1 odds). That's three royals in three weeks. Not bad for someone with two children, four grandchildren and four great grandchildren! (BTW: He plays the same video poker game that Jean Scott describes in her article in this issue of BJI).
