Summary: The Difference that Made the Difference
Review: The challenge of cardcounting is not learning to do it, but "conning" the pit personnel into letting you do it. I was the stereotypical counter till I read this book (felt guilty, avoided contact with pit supervisors, neglected value of rapport with dealers). The result was very quick shuffles and even being told not to make any more blackjack bets. Since I have adopted the mind set described in this book and the resultant behaviors, (engage pit personnel in conversations that interest them, appear to play just for fun and the money means nothing, dress like you can afford to lose) I have enjoyed deep penetration into single decks for multiple hours at a time (the difference that makes the difference). I agree with the top authors on the game that this is the best book on casino comportment and developing your "act".
