Eliot Jacobson has Been Kicked Out of Some of the Best Casinos in Vegas...for Winning

Eliot Jacobson is an advantage player, one of the few casino gamblers who regularly and consistently wins. He has been kicked out of some of the best casinos in Las Vegas, sometimes nicely, sometimes not so nicely. In spite of all the television shows, books, glitz, and media hype associated with casino gambling, the odds are stacked against the player: almost everyone loses. But that doesnt have to be the case.

(PRWEB) January 30, 2005 -- Eliot Jacobson believes every player can beat the casinos fair and square at their own games. He wrote his new book, The Blackjack Zone, to help individual players beat the casinos at blackjack. He doesnt promise that anyone will be able to change things overnight; there are no quick fixes. The process of becoming a winner is the same in blackjack as in any other sport or game; it takes study, practice and discipline. Jacobsons goal is to shift the odds to the player and make him a winner over his lifetime of play. To the average player, the information in his book may be worth $200,000 or more.

I wrote this book for the average recreational blackjack player, someone who knows how to play but isnt winning and wants to know why," Jacobson says. There are a lot of myths about blackjack and a lot of snake-oil gimmicks, which I warn about in the book. The reality is there are no short cuts to winning. The Blackjack Zone covers all the skills needed to beat the game: basic strategy, card counting and other advantage techniques. I used my background as a teacher to explain the complexities of blackjack in a series of easily understood short lessons." Writing in a humorous and entertaining style, Jacobson makes it clear that the same lessons that make someone a winner at the tables will help that person be a winner in life.

In The Blackjack Zone Jacobson explains:
• What Basic Strategy is and how to use it
• How to become an advantage player
• How to choose the right game, dealer and casino
• How to separate myths about blackjack from the realities of the game
• How to think like a winner and much more
