Description

Threatened by casinos, chased by police, cornered by loneliness—If you’ve ever wondered what being a professional blackjack player is truly like, 21 of the most notorious card counters in the world go on the record to tell their real-life stories, equally thrilling and thoughtful. In the first exquisitely-illustrated anthology of its kind, advantage players step out of the shadows to tell their adventures on the road to legally beating casinos for millions of dollars. These stories will not disappoint; from big wins to big screw-ups, celebrity sightings, cheap motels, bad teammates, family curses, indigestion, entanglements with police, the mafia at home and abroad, loneliness, panic, and fine French pastries. Contributors include Blackjack Hall of Fame inductees Tommy Hyland, Richard Munchkin and Max Rubin, as well as stories from published blackjack authors Josh Axelrad, Nathanial Tilton, and Colin Jones, and many more.
