Does anyone know where I can watch or purchase a copy of Uston's interview on 60 Minutes? I checked youtube but didn't find it there.
Thanks.
Thanks for the info Newtron. I believe I have read an interview at Arnold's site with Uston, but is it posted there in quick time or real player video format as well?
I was more interested, and curious I suppose to see and hear Uston answer the questions as opposed to reading them.
So if you know a direct link to a video feed of the interview, do let me know. Thanks.
Vmiman, Arnold personally interviewed Uston (luckily) before he died.
The relatively long written interview (if you take the time and effort to read it) covers far more than the usual 15-minute sensation-first 60 minute interview mentality. Arnold asks the hard Q's - not soft, irrelevant ones. And for those who know how, you also get to read between the lines. On 60M, they don't have any lines.
I get it that generation XYZ think they need instant gratification, quick, and now. All fine, but sometimes, it could pay to relax, take a deep breath or 5, take it easy and let it unfold. You may well be rewarded for your patience. It's in Arnold Snyder's website library.

There is a wealth of goodies to read.
NB,
Thanks for your info. I actually read the interview at Arnold's site and am not averse to reading at all. I actually own (and have read) Uston's Million Dollar Blackjack, The Big Player, and Ken Uston on Blackjack. In addition to those I own (and hav read) Stanford's Professional Blackjack, Blackjack Secrets, Snyder's Blackbelt in BJ, Don's BJ Attack 3rd edition, Revere's Playing BJ as a Business, Griffin's Theory of BJ 6th edition and Blackwood's Play BJ Like the Pros. In addition to those, I have checked out and read 7 other BJ books from my local library.
However, I have read about Uston's flair, etc. and just wanted to see if it came through in the interview and listen to his responses on video. Kind of like reading Martin Luther King, Jr.'s 'I Have a Dream' speach. It is one thing to read, but to me, much more dramatic to actually watch or listen to on tape.
So if you, or anyone out there knows of a link to any video of Uston, or for that matter any of the players in the Blackjack Hall of Fame, being interviewed, I would love to watch them.
Thanks again.
Hey V, That is one impressive list of BJ books. I apologise for my wrong assumption and uncalled for comments. Only a dude with a strong sense of self-discipline would take the time and effort required to read (and digest) all those. Congratulations. Now you have enough data. Is that large database of knowledge reflected in your play, strategies, experiences and success yet? Best, NB
Hi NB,
No problem at all. I just began to read and learn to count when I learned of BJ coming to S. Florida.
My only exerience counting is on an 8 deck shoe, with no surrender, wonging in at a true edge of +1.5 or higher. I use Arnold's hi-lo lite and I guess the TC would be about +3 with the standard hi-lo?
Anyway, there are times when I will go for an hour or 2 and never even get a TE of +1.5, but I am pleased with my results thus far just visiting once or twice a week. I have made a 140% profit on my very small beginning bank of $500.
How about yourself? Do you live in Vegas? One thing is for sure, having only one place to play gets old quick and not only, the only time to really play with minimum crowds is from 7am to 10am, sometimes 11am. After that you can forget finding a table with less than 3 or 4 players unless you beginning bet is a black chip. All in time I guess :)
