Scoblete is in a class of his own." - Rob Wiser, managing editor, Casino Player magazine "Frank Scoblete is an icon in this industry." - Catherine Jaeger, managing editor, Midwest Gaming & Travel magazine "Frank Scoblete and the Beautiful A.P. are probably the standard for all husband/wife or couple blackjack teams. This book will blow your mind!" - Bill Burton, columnist About.com , Casino Player and Midwest Gaming and Travel "I Am a Card Counter is a gripping autobiography, with a smattering of card-counting knowledge thrown in for good measure." - Sam Marsden, editor, Jackpot.co.uk He put a gun in my back and I thought for a moment my wife and I would be shot inside this downtown Las Vegas casino. Was this huge brute of a man a criminal trying to steal money from me? No, he was a security guard who wanted me out of his casino! The dealer wasn't too friendly either --- he threw the cards into my face!   This casino manager followed me on the Las Vegas Strip because I had won money at his casino and he didn't like it. What did he intend to do; beat me up?   I did a television show at an Indian casino but I had two security guards with me at all times - even when I was sleeping they stayed outside the door. One of the guards stayed so close to me during the show that he was on camera.   And there's more, much more about how the casinos treat their "unfavorite" customers --- and I name names too.   My wife the Beautiful AP and I beat the casinos for a quarter century and (surprise!) the casinos didn't like that. Some took strong measures to stop us too.   If you want to know what it was like for a husband/wife team of expert players challenging the casinos for more than two decades then this book is for you. Yes, I will explain the secrets we used to take home the money.   You'll also meet some of the greatest blackjack players in the world and some of the strangest as well.   So buckle up your seat belt and get ready to ride the roller coaster of expert blackjack play.
