I see that Al has gotten many hits on his post about his basic strategy card that informs players about rip off games like 6:5. He has received many compliments for his efforts, suggestions, and discussion.

Al continually crusades against bad practices by the casinos against the patrons. Many of you here on the free page haven't seen some of the letters he has written and other actions he has taken on all our behalf.
He can't do it all alone.
I'm just wondering how many of you have bellied up to the bar and purchased a pad of the cards. I did, and I got mine in the mail today. It's a neat little pad with a cardboard backing. You can tear off a sub-pad of 10 or 25 cards, and they will stay neatly in your shirt pocket, so that you can hand them out when opportunity presents itself.
I gave one each to a couple of my co-workers today. I taught a class on blackjack in a German restaurant last month, I will be teaching another class at the end of this month by popular demand. I will give each attendee one of the cards. The rest, I will distribute on my next casino trip.
They don't cost much, so get off your duffs, and order a pad. We should all contribute to Al's effort.
