"I cannot imagine any serious blackjack player not finding this book fascinating ... I expect this book to become required reading for game protection personnel. The author reveals more about casino scams than any other modern book on this subject. Getting the crook's eye view is part of what makes this book ring true ... This is a how-to guide to cheating the casinos. Dangerous stuff ... Get this one. You won't be disappointed." - Arnold Snyder / Publisher and Editor - Blackjack Forum
"Should be read by players, especially beginners, wondering how sharpies take advantage of sloppy dealers, complacent security, and surveillance personnel. This 'insider' book explains how cheaters operate to beat the House through sophisticated moves and manipulation of the rules. The author, who still uses 'crossroader' techniques, including deception, cons, card switching, past posting, use of teams, etc., unveils his own new world of deviousness. Must reading for the gambler, dealer, and anyone in charge of security at any gambling enstablishment ... Inside stuff rarely seen in print." - Howard Schwartz / Research Director, Gambler's Book Club
1st edition 1994, 230 pages; digital edition 2023, PDF 159 pages.
