Blackjack Blueprint covers everything from basic strategy to counting cards, from maximizing potential going solo to playing on a blackjack team. Casino comps, tournaments, location play, shuffle tracking, playing in disguise, outwitting the eye in the sky, and other advantage-play techniques—it’s all here. Best of all, the techniques you’ll learn in Blackjack Blueprint can be used part-time as a money-making hobby, just as author Rick Blaine has used them for years while pursuing a career in finance. This revised edition contains new information on getting reimbursed for airline tickets to casino destinations, negotiating and optimizing rebates on gambling losses, hiding chips and disguising wins, security while on blackjack-related websites, mitigating the risk of identity theft by casino and credit-agency employees, and protecting your personal privacy when making large cash transactions at casinos. Rick "Night Train" Blaine is a career executive with a Fortune 500 company whose hobby for the past 25 years has been beating the casinos at blackjack. Well-versed in all aspects of winning blackjack play, Blaine has excelled both solo and as a blackjack-team player and leader. Blaine has earned a significant (mid-seven-figure) second income and traveled the world playing blackjack. He is particularly well-known in blackjack circles for his ability to teach new players how to beat the game. He lives in New York.
