It may be shocking and it's certainly dangerous. Nevertheless, this unique book represents the definitive resource on how professional con men cheat at blackjack and other card games. The author, a former high-stakes cheater, explains an amazing array of specific moves with clear understandable text and detailed illustrations.
Covers switching cards in play, stacking the deck, adding to the bet after seeing the cards, stealing chips, mucking, tells, counting tips, how to use disguises, and the use of computers, hacking techniques, and sophisticated electronic devices to get the money. Cheating at Blackjack provides a view inside the dark hidden world of casino cheating, where the stakes are high, and not just in terms of the money to be won.
This new edition combines the best of the author's two books on the subject, updated to reflect today's conditions.
Dustin Marks is, without question, one the most successful blackjack cheaters in history. Possessing an uncanny ability to remain calm under pressure and the talent to perform undetectable sleight of hand, he was employed as a blackjack dealer by several well-known casinos in Las Vegas during the 1980s. While under the watchful eye of the ostensibly fool-proof surveillance systems, he painstakingly perfected his craft and WAS NEVER CAUGHT! The plying of his talents was not limited to Las Vegas, he also played in casinos throughout Nevada. He lives in Las Vegas.
