Arnold Snyder — REDUX < ? >
- Thread starter FLASH1296
- Start date
Snyder switched to playing and writing about Poker several years ago, after discontinuing the Blackjack Forum quarterly and abandoning his BJ forum. He published The Big Book of Blackjack but he is somewhat "out-of-the-loop" for younger players, who are unaware that he is an immortal pioneer in BJ advantage play, including the years before he published Blackbelt in Blackjack.
Snyder may feel that he needs to goose sales by word-of-mouth, needing early buyers.
I would love to see a T.O.C. from this.

the days of lucrative blackjack are numbered
and everytime someone makes this information public to "get there recognition" they make it accessible to everyone for a brief time and ruin it for everyone for ever. this stuff makes me sick. the only thing books about advantage play should teach is how to be cool and peronsable and friendly and get along with staff and be good for the industry so no one cares about you. now there is just going to be another 10000 nerdy looking dudes acting like assholes with aspergers syndrome. this is the same for bj as it is for poker. any winning poekr players hourly would be doubld if they would just learn to be cool and make people relax at the table and treat them like clients.
all these poker books do is give them the vocbulary and confidence to berate fish and make the fish not want to donate. the fihs dont have fun and the player doesnt make any money. in 2005 the average player at the table wasnt even trying to win! now your edge comes from knowing how to hoodflat 4bets and merge your range on rivers. assuming huge variance and small win rates.
its hard to make any ammount of real money playing poker now because everyone short stacks. these people are just grouchy and mad and arent makign any money and people dont like playing against them. the argument that everyone should get this information and im just selfish is wrong. there is just going to be tons of unbeatable/untrackable blackjack games soon and angry nerdy people wasting their time learning about this relic of a game instead of being an engineer, teacher or cop. these books make me sick.
people need to stop betraying their own with these books so they can get recognition. recognition for being original is just bs anyways, it just means you were just as smart as an average smart guy who was lucky to be in the right place at the right time and also maybe they were a grinder.

further more the information is there, but should only be available to people who are willing to work for it. if its available to everyone its available to the enemy. who either wouldnt know or wouldnt care, as long as it was just a few people doing it who were making an effort to also be good for the industry. how do we hate on MGM and CET and sahara for being greedy and ruining their industries when the leaders of our industry do the same thing. it wasnt enough for them to make millions of dollars!
uhhhhhh. he already wrote about this stuff before. hence, redux.
the info has been available for decades. there aren't many ST or HC blackjack games as it is. The casinos have long adapted to these techniques. this might even be a ploy from the casinos to generate a new customer base of wannabe APs coming to fill their tables only to fail.
Product Description:
Arnold Snyder’s Radical Blackjack reveals, for the first time to the general public, the guarded insider secrets used by professional blackjack players to win in today’s game. He goes way beyond basic strategy and card counting to show aspiring pros shuffle tracking, a method of following cards through any house shuffle, so that you can bet big when the high cards come out—without looking like a card counter, and hole card play, a technique for playing with knowledge of the dealer’s hole card. This type of play is so strong that some methods have been deemed illegal. But other methods, because they are so simple, have been found by the courts to be 100% legal! Radical Blackjack also delves into bonus hustling, rebate milking, camouflage, partner play, team play, and even playing online.
