A Professional Blackjack Memoir
My Favorite of All My Gambling Books
Radical Blackjack is a professional gambling memoir unlike any other book on how to make money gambling. These are the methods I used personally to win money in the casinos while keeping casino managers friendly.
Most books on professional blackjack focus on how to count cards, how much to bet, and when to alter playing decisions based on the count. I’ve already written about that stuff. That’s not this book.
Instead, Radical Blackjack focuses on professional techniques and tactics and how they actually work in real life, at real blackjack tables, even when you’re playing for high stakes and you know you’re being watched closely.
I talk about shuffle-tracking and hole-carding tricks and plays like edge-sorting you may never have heard of. I tell real-life stories of playing with partners and teams of the best professional gamblers in the world.
I also provide a comprehensive treatment of the value of loss rebates for high-stakes and moderate-stakes players, including in online casinos, the secrets behind some of the most famous gambling stories in history, and lots more. This is the stuff I never wrote about before because I was using these methods personally.
In this book, you will see how the most valuable techniques in professional gambling work in real life – when they’re going right and when they’re going so badly the casino is ready to have you arrested.
Learning to count cards is just the start. If you’re serious about making money in the casinos, let this book teach you to think like a professional gambler. Of all the gambling books I’ve written, this is my personal favorite.

Arnold, I’m looking forward to reading your new book. I don’t play bj anymore but I’m interested in reaping some loss rebate for my baccarat play. In fact, it would be great if you could post about some advantage plays, and analyze and see if some of those baccarat side bets can be exploited. I own a Greek restaurant and a popular neighborhood pub up here so my businesses have been killed by the covid bullshit and it would be nice to make a little extra income at the baccarat tables.
Ian, I intend to post about gambling here. The book will be out soon and the election will be corrected and people will have questions about the book.
I’m very sorry to hear about your business. I have lots of friends and family in the same boat and I know what you’re feeling.
