My latest strategy card set lets you go beyond basic strategy, to where no card has gone before.</p> <p>I will also tell you about a nice free iPhone app that will interest any traveling gamblers. Last of all, I'll finish up with news from the Eastern US where blackjack tables seem to be popping up everywhere.</p> <p>Let's get started...</p> </td> <td width="25"></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center" valign="top" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> <table style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; color: #000000; text-align: left; line-height: 26px; width: 630px;" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td colspan="5" height="20"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="20"></td> <td colspan="3" align="center" width="590"><a href="http://www.blackjackinfo.com/card/advanced-strategy-cards.php"><img src="http://www.blackjackinfo.com/images/email/advanced-strategy-cards-360x164.jpg" alt="Blackjack Advanced Strategy Cards" /></a><br /><h4>Strategy Cards for Card Counters</h4></td> <td width="20"></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="20"></td> <td colspan="3" width="590" valign="top"> <p>My latest strategy card set is fresh off the presses, and it includes a feature never seen before in a blackjack strategy card.</p> <p>Like the popular BlackjackInfo Basic Strategy Cards, the <a href="http://www.blackjackinfo.com/card/advanced-strategy-cards.php">Advanced Strategy set</a> features optimized strategies for six different sets of blackjack rules.</p> <p>Then, for card counters using Hi-Lo, the most popular card counting system, the cards show the index numbers for strategy variations right on the card. All the indexes from -5 to +5 are included, and as you would expect from BlackjackInfo, they are optimized for the exact game you are playing. </p> <p>Use these cards to learn the best possible indexes for your game, and if you want to use them inside the casino the set includes a stealth version that encodes the indexes.</p> <p>See the full explanation and details here: <a href="http://www.blackjackinfo.com/card/advanced-strategy-cards.php">Advanced Blackjack Strategy Cards</a></p> <p>You can purchase a set at the <a href="http://www.blackjackinfo.com/store/blackjack-advanced-strategy-cards-set.html">BlackjackInfo store</a>, or at <a href="http://bit.ly/advstrategy">Amazon.com</a>.</p> </td> <td width="20"></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="5" height="20"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="20"></td> <td align="center" width="285"><a href="http://bit.ly/acgapp"><img src="http://www.blackjackinfo.com/images/email/acg-285x190.jpg" alt="American Casino Guide app" /></a><br /><h4>Free iPhone Casino Guide App</h4></td> <td width="20"></td> <td align="center" width="285"><img src="http://www.blackjackinfo.com/images/email/dice-285x190.jpg" alt="Expanding Gambling" /><br /><h4>Eastern US Gambling Explosion</h4></td> <td width="20"></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="20"></td> <td width="285" valign="top"> <p>If you often gamble while traveling, this iPhone app belongs on your phone. Created by the publisher of the American Casino Guide, this app gives you information about all US casinos, including riverboats and Indian casinos.</p> <p>Just tap the "Nearby Casinos" button and the app uses GPS to provide a list of the closest casinos and the distance to each. Each listing has a touch-to-call button, reviews of the property, and details on what games are offered. You can even get turn-by-turn navigation to the casino.</p> <p>The app is free, so if you have an iPhone or iPad, check it out. Click here to go directly to the app in the iTunes App Store:<br /> <a href="http://bit.ly/acgapp">American Casino Guide app</a></p> <p>You can also visit the ACG site, which offers the same casino listings along with a lot of other useful info for players:<br /><a href="http://www.americancasinoguide.com">American Casino Guide website</a></p> </td> <td width="20"></td> <td width="285" valign="top"> <p>In case you haven't noticed, casino gambling is on a winning streak all its own. In the last few years, blackjack game choices have expanded through new casino openings and addition of table games to existing casinos, especially in the Eastern US.</p> <p>After a decade or more of blackjack being pushed out of the way by the latest gimmick game or replaced with more slots, things seem to be swinging back the other way. Although alternative games continue to compete for floor space, the sheer number of new venues means more choices than ever for blackjack players. Competition is always a good thing!</p> <p>The latest addition is Maryland, where table games were added just this month. Other states with recent expansions include Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Rhode Island. Further to the south, North Carolina's Cherokee casino added live table games last year.</p> <p>What are you waiting for?

BlackjackInfo Newsletter Issue 34 - July 21, 2009

Tue, 21 Jul 2009 22:23:00 GMT

<h2>Greetings, from <a href="http://www.blackjackinfo.com">BlackjackInfo.com</a></h2> <h2>From Kenneth R Smith</h2> <h3>This Issue of the BlackjackInfo newsletter includes:</h3> <ul> <li><a href="#thanks">Thanks for confirming your subscription!</a></li> <li><a href="#newlook">An all new look at BlackjackInfo</a></li> <li><a href="#chat">The new Chat Room, and weekly chats</a></li> <li><a href="#guests">Two exciting chat guests coming up...</a></li> <li><a href="#school">Free 24 lesson school for winning blackjack</a></li> </ul> <a id="thanks"></a> <h3>Thanks for confirming your subscription!</h3> <p> If you are reading this, it must mean that you've successfully made the transition to our new mailing list software. Thanks for your help. Switching to new list software and to a double opt-in process prepares us for the future. Now, on to the newsletter... </p> <a id="newlook"></a> <h3>An all new look at BlackjackInfo</h3> <p> If you have not dropped by the site in the last week or so, you will see a dramatic difference when you visit again. Our new design launched about a week ago, and has been very well received so far. Check it out now at <a href="http://www.blackjackinfo.com">BlackjackInfo.com</a>. </p> <p> I hope you'll agree that the new look is a lot easier on the eyes. In addition to the more polished look, the new version provides better contrast and a larger font size to improve readability. </p> <a id="chat"></a> <h3>The new Chat Room, and weekly chats</h3> <p> We recently added a free Chat Room to the message board area of the site. The chat room is available 24/7, but there are three regularly scheduled chats each week. Drop by the <a href="http://www.blackjackinfo.com/bb/">BlackjackInfo Message Board</a> and you will find a link to the Chat Room across the navigation bar at the top. </p> <p> Our three regularly scheduled chats are: </p> <ul> <li>Mondays: 7pm Eastern (Mon 2300 UTC)</li> <li>Tuesdays:10pm Eastern (Wed 0200 UTC) <b>BJ Newbie Free Tutoring</b></li> <li>Thursdays: 9pm Eastern (Fri 0100 UTC)</li> </ul> <p> Join us at those times for free chat. In particular, if you are relatively new to the game, drop by for the Tuesday free blackjack tutoring chat hosted by our moderator ICountNTrack. </p> <p> To participate in the chat room, you will need to register at the BlackjackInfo message forums. </p> <a id="guests"></a> <h3>Two exciting chat guests coming up...</h3> <p> In addition to the regular chat schedule, we have recently been inviting special chat guests from the blackjack world. This week we have two fantastic guests: </p> <ul> <li><b>Al Francesco, a member of the Blackjack Hall of Fame</b><br> <b>(Thursday July 23rd at 9pm Eastern):</b><br> Al pioneered the "Big Player" concept of team play. You don't want to miss this one!</li> <li><b>Dr. Dylan Evans, lecturer in behavioral sciences at the School of Medicine, University College Cork from Ireland</b><br> <b>(Special chat time: Saturday, July 25th at 1pm Eastern [Sat 1700 UTC])</b>:<br> Dr Evans spoke at the 14th International Conference on Gaming and Risk-Taking at Lake Tahoe, where his topic was the nature of advantage players' "risk intelligence". More information is available at his site: <a href="http://www.dylan.org.uk">http://www.dylan.org.uk</a></li> </ul> <p> I just hope this email reaches most of our subscribers in time to participate with our two special chat guests. Come on by! </p> <a id="school"></a> <h3>Free 24 lesson school for winning blackjack</h3> <p> During the launch of the new website design, I also added a terrific blackjack resource to the site. The <a href="http://www.blackjackinfo.com/blackjack-school/">GameMaster's Blackjack School</a> is a free 24-lesson school on blackjack and card counting. </p> <p> Be sure to check it out. </p> <hr> <p> That's it for now. Best of luck at the tables, -Ken- </p> <hr> You can read this newsletter, or any previous newsletter at our <a href="http://www.blackjackinfo.com/news">Newsletter Archive</a>. <hr>
