    Chat with Nathaniel Tilton

    Nathaniel Tilton has a new book titled: The Blackjack Life: A Journey Through the Inner World of Card Counting, the Lessons of Teamwork, and the Clandestine Pursuit of Beating the Odds. Good title, long subtitle. But, needed to separate it from the pack. The book is only five days old and I have yet to read it. The publisher says he’ll send me a PDF. (I have a few days to learn how to read.) I decided to go with a chat for several reasons. Munchkin gave a review. I talked to Semyon Dukach; and he gives it a thumbs up. (Never argue with a Russian gun dealer, even if it is just a cover.) And, oh yeah, he says good things about CV.

    Anyhow, we have scheduled a chat with Nathaniel on the 28th. Feel free to post your own reviews in advance.

    Awesome I heard about this book recently...
    Excited for the writing about his two-man team.
    Always loved narrative Blackjack books, lots of good real world situations.

    This book literally changed my life. I picked up a gallery proof of this book a few months ago while in Vegas for a weeks vacation. Ended up staying seven weeks and plan on returning as soon as the summer heat breaks. While not introducing any new methods, this two man team blended several well known methods together and the casinos still don't know what hit them.

    I hadn't heard of this book, until the other day. I love these journal type books documenting experiences and with a little down time now upon me, I am looking forward to reading it as well as the scheduled chat (thanx Norm).

    Welcome back to you, Mr Shad. Hope all is well.

    About half way done with it. Very good read thus far.
    RWM wrote a review of it on his site.

    Just finished the book, and it is friggin good. Perfect for all levels of players as it will really (at least in my case) force you to look at the degree of discipline in which you learn and attack this game with.
    Duh! Winning!

    I'm little over halfway through this book and is definitely an entertaining read. It was perfect timing since I was debating a two person approach, and this book gives some great advice. Look forward to the chat.
