Greetings,
It was mentioned below that my new book, "The Blackjack Zone", is now for sale on this site. It also has its own website, www.theblackjackzone.com that features some more reviews, a TOC, and some excerpts. Of course, if you go to www.theblackjackzone.com and then decide you want to buy it, please come back here to complete the sale!.
I would like to mention that one chapter of "The Blackjack Zone" is an interview with LVBear, who is a frequent poster to this site.
My book is about blackjack and was designed for the average casino player who wants to know what works, what doesn't, and why. I also cover some new topics, including the psychology of the losing player, the true cost of mistakes, being the partner of a card counter, and many others.
Here are some reviews.
--------------------
"Eliot Jacobson is a respected member of the blackjack advantage-player community. He has earned that respect by keeping his eyes open and his thinking cap on during his forays into casinos. He communicates his thoughts clearly in a style that is fun to read.
Be sure you get all the way through this book, because the best parts are toward the end � the chapters numbered 44 and higher. Chapter 45 is particularly strong: �Ten Ways Advantage Play Can Help You Win At Life.�
-- Stanford Wong, author of �Professional Blackjack� and host of www.bj21.com
--------------------
"Reading ' The Blackjack Zone' is a good way to understand what the winning process is all about. Even video poker players applying the same principles Jacobson talks about will find their results improving. I highly recommend this book."
-- Bob Dancer, author of �Million Dollar Video Poker� and �Sex, Lies and Video Poker.�

--------------------
"As a card counter, the worse part about playing is watching the 99% of average players fall prey to the common pitfalls and myths of blackjack that inevitably turn a near break-even even game for the casino, into a 2% or more bread earner! Eliot Jacobson dispels and shatters all the common mistakes, using a fun and entertaining style that is sure to help the losing masses improve their blackjack game."
-- Dan Pronovost, President, DeepNet Technologies, www.deepnettech.com

"An entertaining and informative book. ' The Blackjack Zone' will be helpful to the player who needs to get rid of common myths and superstitions, and build a solid foundation of basic knowledge."
