A WORD FROM HENRY
Congratulations to BJI contributing writers Vinny DeCarlo and Frank Scoblete on their new books. DeCarlo's e-book, How to Beat Casino Surveillance-An Insider's Secrets for Card Counters, contains insider intelligence on 25 Las Vegas casino surveillance departments that casino bosses don't want you to know about. For more information about the book, click here. (Read also the "Q&A with Vinny DeCarlo" article in this issue of BJI.) Scoblete's new print book on craps, Casino Craps: Shoot to Win!, is the most comprehensive book on craps ever written (includes details on the 5-Count and dice control plus a DVD showing unedited controlled throws by Dominator). To purchase the book, click here. (Read also the "Q&A with Frank Scoblete" in this issue, and for an unbelievable true story about Frank and Dominator's recent run-in with the Mississippi Gaming Commission, check out Frank's Atlantic City Report.)
In this issue of the BJI, Vinny DeCarlo explains the difference between
getting
"heat" vs. "sweat" from pit critters. Basil Nestor also provides
information on when and how to
rathole your chips. Blackjack expert John Grochowski
answers player's questions dealing with counting just high cards, playing heads-up,
the game of 21+3, and insuring your blackjack. Have you ever thought a
blackjack
dealer cheated you? Then you need to read Ralph Stricker's true
story about what he saw in a Las Vegas casino. Timmer visited the
Pearl River
Resort in Mississippi and reports on the blackjack playing conditions
that he found there. Frank Scoblete's Atlantic City Report contains not
only the latest scoop on playing condition there, but also the story of
a run-in that he and Dominator had with the
Mississippi Gaming Commission
(great reading, but be forewarned, the article contains some colorful language).
Ken Smith played in a craps tournament, and he summarizes one of the most
unusual tournament experiences that he has ever had in all the years that
he has been playing in tournaments. Melissa Kaplan interviewed
Frank Scoblete to get the scoop on why he wrote
another book on craps.
Implied odds in poker is a concept not well known amongst players, and
Bill Burton explains what it is and how to use it. Last, but not least,
we have the schedule of
upcoming blackjack tournaments
in different regions of the U.S. courtesy of
blackjacktournaments.com.
