About the Author

While passing through Reno in 1967, I played my first hand of blackjack.  The game really got my interest and it did not take much research to realize that playing solid basic strategy with an accurate card counting betting component gave me the best chance to beat casinos at blackjack.  But as we have discussed, this approach is no longer very realistic. 

Other than the major problem of not being able to use your card counting skills, several other observations over the years were influential in my decision to develop Hot Streak Blackjack Strategy.  One was that playing basic strategy with flat betting only gave the house a slight edge, so it would not take much of an improvement in the betting process to erase the house advantage.  Another was that making some plays according to the "book" did not make much sense...like always splitting eights or hitting twelve when the dealer had a two or a three showing.  "Surrender" is also a good, but mostly unknown, playing option that needs to be exercised more than what is generally recommended.  And I have seen many streaks, both hot and cold, that defy the odds.  As a result, this strategy has a few interesting twists that I think you will find very helpful.

I have been successful using this strategy and I am confident that you will be too.

Thanks for your time and good luck!
