"Beating and Safeguarding Modern Casino Table Games, Side Bets and Promotions"

A lot of the chapters were articles/blogs he wrote on his website on how to beat various side bets.
He then removed the articles/blogs (which are probably archived) and published it in the book.

Mostly shows readers how to beat a lot of different side bets for blackjack and baccarat that aren't found in many casinos.
The few casinos that offer some of these side bets probably altered the pay table or removed the side bet altogether.

APs who buy the book probably read how to beat a certain side bet, try it out, then return to counting, hole carding, or other plays after realizing that counting the side bet is not worth their time.

Unless you plan on actually giving some of the side bets a shot, it's not worth the buy. Check out the table of contents to see if any of the chapters interest you. I know none of them are of use or interest to me.

Good resource if you can't get your hands on Exhibit CAA. Although not as complete or entertaining, it does have HC strategies for most of the carnival games and count systems for many side bets.
It's a worthwhile addition to a gaming library.

Just the info on his site would be worth paying several hundred dollars IMHO. He's a jackass and I dislike him as a person, but he knows what he's doing.

Fully agree with the previous posts. It works both as an eye opener for someone not into AP moves besides CC or a reference aid for any "on the fly" found opportunities (along with Exhibit CAA)
