Meanwhile, an international group of ex-card counters who have since gone over to the casino side, headed by Howard Grossman of Las Vegas and Michael Barnett of Sidney, Australia, are soliciting all former and current professional players to quit attempting to beat the casinos and join them in a class action lawsuit against Edward O. Thorp, author of the 1962 best seller, Beat the Dealer. Says Barnett, "The casinos are simply doing what all corporations have done since the beginning of time�protecting their assets. It�s troublemakers like Ed Thorp who have caused all of these problems for players. And since he personally has more money than all of the major casino corporations combined, we�re going after him." Players who would like to join the suit can call Howard Grossman toll-free at: 1-800-GET-EDDY. ♠
