PostHeaderIcon Blackjack Heat Radar

If you are going to get away with counting at high stakes, you must be sensitive to "heat." More and more these days, counters are identified by electronic surveillance, but there is almost always some sign that the guys on the floor suspect something before the heat comes down. This is a letter I received from a player a few years ago:

How does a card counter know when he's getting heat? I play at moderate to high stakes ($25 -$500), but I've only been doing this for a short time—a few weekend trips so far. I get very nervous whenever the pit boss seems to be looking at me, or even in the direction of my table. I do try to be friendly toward the bosses and floormen, and I believe I act like nothing is bothering me, but I often have the urge to bolt out of there as soon as any conversation with pit personnel is over. I feel like they are also just acting nonchalant when they're actually scrutinizing my play. A few times I have left tables for no other reason than the floorman came over and watched my table for a while, scribbling notes. I feel like he's recording what I'm doing and that I'd better leave before his notes get too detailed. I've walked out on a number of pretty decent games, and it irritates me whenever I feel I must do this when the count is high. I haven't had any trouble so far, but am I being too cautious? It sure would be nice to relax a bit more and hang in there when I've got an otherwise profitable situation.

I suspect that this player was being overly cautious, but I can't know for sure, not without having seen for myself if he actually had reason to feel uncomfortable. He might've loosened up just a bit and gotten barred. Perhaps his radar is working perfectly. Also, as I have never observed his casino play, I really can't judge if his style of betting is too obvious, or his demeanor too telling. Some players project their paranoia, and this in itself makes casino personnel suspicious.

Any player who bets in the $25 to $500 range may expect to draw pit attention and should assume that the eye in the sky is monitoring him. Once a blackjack player's bets go into the $100+ range he becomes a serious concern to the pit. Their primary concern with big players, however, is that they keep them as customers. They do not automatically assume such players are card counters, and most are not—most are actually big losers.

PostHeaderIcon Blackjack Introduction

I'm going to show you how to beat the casinos at blackjack. This is something I know intimately, because I have been doing it for 30 years. I've also spent the past 25 years teaching other players how to beat the casinos. I'm on a mission. I can't help myself! It's not that I hate the casino industry; I just love taking their money. There's nothing more fun than walking out of a casino with a few thousand more bucks in your pockets than you walked in with. Free money! Watch out! It's addictive! It makes you wonder why anyone goes to work at a regular job.

The only reason you're not doing this right now is that you don't know how to do it yet. Maybe you've read other books on card counting, and you can't figure out why it's not working. Read this book. I guarantee you this book is different. You're going to find a lot of information here you won't find in any of the other books, including all the books by self-proclaimed "experts" who have never in their lives filed their taxes as professional gamblers. They're hack writers, hack mathematicians, and hack blackjack players. Read this book. I wish I had this book when I started playing in 1977.1 would have gotten out of my post office job a lot sooner!

I have completely revised and updated Blackbelt in Blackjack to conform to today's games and have included information I have never before revealed to a general audience.
This book is a step-by-step complete course on how to beat the casinos at blackjack. Everything you need to know to win money at the game, from the basics of play and the rules of the game, to the most advanced systems used by the pros—it's all within these pages. You'll learn playing strategies, basic and advanced betting techniques, optimal single and multiple-deck play, simple card counting systems you can use to beat most games, plus advanced techniques known only by a handful of pros.

To guide you on your way, I have divided the book into three sections to help your progression from amateur play right up to the top pro level. There are many secrets revealed in these pages that the casinos don't want you to know, and for good reason: They are the strategies professionals use to make their living at the casinos' expense!

In the first section, Earning Your White Belt, we cover the rules and basics of blackjack, and why you can beat the game—with the odds! You'll also learn the basic strategies needed to beat single and multiple-deck games, plus easy-to-use card-counting strategies that are perfect for the realistic conditions you'll actually face in the casinos. You'll learn about the Red Seven, Hi-Lo Lite, and Zen counts, simple ways to increase your edge against the casino, table conditions that influence profit margins, and key bankrolling decisions that are vital to your success.

In the second section, Earning Your Green Belt, we take an in-depth look at professional betting strategies as well as table-hopping, playing multiple hands, and the principles the pros use to decrease flux. We also cover depth-charging, opposition betting, deception, camouflage, surviving surveillance, and more insider secrets.

The third section, Earning Your Black Belt, is for the very serious player. The key topics here are known by few players and are covered in great detail: shuffle tracking, team play and all the issues associated with it—the gorilla (big player), bankroll risks, polygraph testing, investment deals, spotter teams, casinos that cheat, traveling with cash, milking the casino comps, and much more—plus the many secrets professional players use to remain anonymous in the casinos that would bar them from play if they knew who they were.

Remarkably, more than forty years after Edward O. Thorp's Beat the Dealer (1962) was published, the game of casino blackjack offers greater profit opportunities to intelligent players than at any time in the history of the game. Few would have predicted this back in 1962, when the only state in the union where you could legally play casino blackjack was Nevada, and blackjack was a distant second to craps in popularity. But, Ed Thorp didn't just write a book in 1962; he transformed an industry and altered the consciousness of literally millions of casino players throughout the world.

If you're a serious blackjack player who wants to beat the casinos for serious money; if you're considering a career as a professional player, this is the book for you. Let's get started.
