I've been a recreational gambler since I was a child. My Mom taught me the basics of poker when I was old enough to recognize numbers on cards, and never hesitated to win back my allowance if I called a hand I should have folded! My interest in blackjack bagan after college when some friends invited me on a junket to the Bahamas... quickly lost my meager bankroll, but became fascinated with the game. After MANY years of being a consistent loser at the game I bagan looking for methods of play beyond just playing with Basic Strategy and flat betting. Several years of trials and experimentation led me to believe that the betting system explained in my book, Twenty-first Century Blackjack, was the most effective way to beat this game and improve my overall win percentage.

Ten years have passed since the book was published, and I still receive letters from players who found success using my recommended method of play, and I still use it when I play blackjack.
