    The Blackjack Life - book review

    I just put up a review of The Blackjack Life. I'm curious how non-counters will respond to the book.

    Munchie,

    I once watched two teammates from the old "Hoosier Hitmen" argue out loud and in anger in a casino lounge about their bankroll and who owed who what, I decided to steer clear of that team.

    Thanks for the review, it can be an exciting life, for sure.

    Definitely worth the money. Kindle version was like 7 bucks.
    Got more than my fair share of 7$ of knowledge.

    I second the recommendation of the book being well worth the $7 kindle version. Read about 150 pages of the book within hours after purchasing it. It is an entertaining read and gets your mind thinking about ways you can adjust your play. Also with a good portion of the team play being a two man team, it makes it so that both the solo and team player can relate to a degree.

    I have the hardcover version.
    It is I M O "underwhelming"

    The author finally discovers he is
    a "pathological gambler." He is a
    white guy wearing his hair in long
    dreadlocks as he struggles to keep
    his anonymity. L O L

    Thanx contrarian.

    Yes I am once again posting under the influence.

    You are thinking of Repeat Until Rich by Josh Axelrad.

    The Blackjack Life is a good read detailing Tilton’s two-man play approach. But don’t expect much technical detail.
