The Card Couters Guide to Casino Surveillance

[aslan]

I recently came across a book that confirms everything I ever suspected about casino surveillance and more.

If you are a professional or serious recreational AP, get yourself a copy of "The Card Counter's Guide to Casino Surveillance - A Snyder Professional Report," by Cellini released in 2003. Arnold called it "the most important information for professional blackjack players to be published since the 1962 edition of Ed Thorp's Beat the Dealer.

I began reading it today. It is hard to put down.

It is the BEST. In a class by itself. zg

Don't know if the price has gone down in the last few years, but MY copy cost $100; and worth every penny. If prevents or delays even ONE barring it has paid for itself many times over.

I believe it's been out of print for a while. There's a used one on amazon.com for $175.

There are a few sites that sell it for about $100, but you can always get it here for $44.95 plus $7.00 shipping: http://www.shoplva.com/products/card-counters-guide-to-casino-surveillance-the
or here for $49.95 plus about $4.00 shipping: (Dead link: http://www.gamblersbookclub.com/Book/Blackjack/Books/518-CARD_COUNTERS_GUIDE_TO_CASINO_SURVEILLANCE)

Shop LVA also has: "Advantage Play For The Casino Executive" for $30.00 and another called "Card Counting for the Casino Executive" for $20.00.

Just wondering if anyone has read the card counting book?

If I'm going to pay the postage to get them shipped to Australia, I might as well get all 3 at once.

 

[David Spence]

I skimmed through a friend's copy of Card Counting for the Casino Executive ("know thy enemy"). One thing was clear: almost no casino executives I've met read the book. But, at the very least, it's interesting reading.

If you do order from LVA and are already paying shipping anyway, check out the Bargain Bin. I got Advantage Yahtzee for only $2.00, and it's paid for itself many times over (OK, it hasn't even paid for itself once, but I like the book ).

My copy of Advantage Yahtzee also came from the bargain bin. It will pay off one day!

I clicked on "checkout" but it wouldn't process.

I bought mine from Gambler's Book Club for $49.95.

Cellini

When he first came on the sites he was ridiculed very much as XGM has been,
only worse.

Mastering both Sudoku and Yahtzee AP could make a very unique pro-AP foundation. zg

[willywill]

Perhaps i've missed threads, but i don't remember XGM being ridiculed, simply asked to offer verification of his credentials to some degree?

He definitely was not ridiculed. I just don't feel free to talk with him until I know whose side he's on. Just having insider information does not tell me whose side he's on, plus I wonder why someone who spent a good portion of his life persecuting card counters, should suddenly want to help the very same card counters? Did he get struck off his horse on the way to Damascus? And if it wasn't something so dramatic, what's to stop him from playing it both ways if a profitable, or more enjoyable, opportunity arises? Sorry for being so skeptical, but that's just the way I am, and it has served me well over the years.
