We are now taking orders for Bootlegger's 200 Proof Blackjack

Publisher's comments:

Bootlegger's 200 Proof Blackjack begins by explaining the basics of blackjack. It then examines and analyzes the most effective strategies for increasing your odds of winning. Included are discussions of money management for strategic play, tips for avoiding common pitfalls, and a unique section on using the casinos' promotional money to play. For more passionate players, the book offers easy-to-follow instructions on the best card counting systems available--the systems that casinos absolutely don't want you to know about. Throughout the book, full-color examples of card-hands illustrate and clarify plays and strategies.

The publisher says our initial supply is on its way to us. We should have it in a few days. Orders will be shipped the same day we receive the books.

How much is it? What level of player is it recommended for?

It is being sold for $17.95. The book is in two parts. The first part is for a beginning player who may never had played the game of blackjack before. It includes basic strategies on the most commonly found games, and advice on how to make the most out of comps. It provides a detailed breakdown of the value of different rules on a per-deck basis, based on the formulas found in Griffin's Theory of Blackjack. It also includes risk-based bankroll advice that I haven't seen in print for basic strategy players. The second half is for those who want to learn how to count cards. It includes risk-based bankroll advice, cover advice, detailed charts of the most commonly found games, and the bet spreads and unit sizes needed for each of those games for a player who wants to play to a 5% risk of ruin, as well as similar charts for Wonging and semi-Wonging or exit strategies, using different betting spreads. The betting spreads described include optimal betting spreads, along with more traditional betting spreads. I hope there is something of use in the book for most players, regardless of level of skill. Is it going to make DD', BigPlayer or MathProf better players? I doubt it. Can it be useful for most players? I believe it can.

I know it is not that type of book, but many of us buy books that have a paragraph that might be useful to us.

What does your book contain that Blackbelt in Blackjack doesn't? Do you include any discussion of shuffle tracking or opposition betting?

The book is a basic strategy and card counting book. Advanced techniques such as those discussed in your book or Grosjean's book are not covered in my book

I haven't read the latest version of Blackbelt in Blackjack, so I really can't make a valid comparison.

Al Roger's promo spoke about a 'cc system the casino would rather I not know about' or something like that.

Care to share what system(s) is featured?

Thanks.

Al ran an excerpt from the publisher's description of the book. The system described in the book is hi-lo.
