A WORD FROM HENRY

Getting an advantage playing slots? Impossible you say? We've got the inside scoop on how it is possible ... read Jerry "Stickman's" article for the details. Two of the plushest casinos on the Las Vegas Strip are located across the street from each other: the new Palazzo and Wynn Las Vegas. Joe Pane visited both properties and reports on the blackjack playing conditions that he found. Jerry "Stickman" made another trip to Tunica and reports on the blackjack, craps, video poker, and advantage slots playing conditions. Likewise, Bill Burton visited Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun casinos and reports on playing conditions there. Frank Scoblete moans about those once good blackjack playing conditions in Atlantic City, and then he and his staff of reporters give an update on the current playing conditions in AC. Alan Krigman presents some interesting facts about doubling down that you will find fascinating. Kenneth Smith describes why it's important to use all the time you need to make the correct betting and playing conditions on the last hand in a tournament (Ken's shortcut to calculate an opponent's bankroll if they get an all-in blackjack is priceless). Get ready 'cause LVBear is growling again, and boy has he got some growls this month ... don't miss reading his column. Do you know what a Bad Beat Jackpot in Poker is all about? If not, read Bill Burton's All About Poker column for the details. Last, but not least, we have a schedule of major tournaments from around the country courtesy of www.blackjacktournaments.com.

Sam Vaughn's article (Down the Yellow Brick Road), which summarizes Sam's first visit to Sin City at the tender age of 18, will appear in the September issue of BJI.

CARD COUNTING IN THE MOVIES
vs
CARD COUNTING IN THE TRENCHES

Volume 1	Volume 2

The movie 21 shows the glitz and glamour of card counters beating the casinos for millions. But is card counting really all glitz and glamour as portrayed in the movie? Not quite. In fact Barfarkel, a blue-collar, low-stakes counter, offers a real-life look into what it's like to be in the trenches beating the casinos at their own game. His first book, You've Got Heat, was an instant success and sold out. We have republished the book as a downloadable e-book, and also published his second e-book, You've Got Heat Vol 2: Turning Up the Heat. The latter book also contains a unique article written by Barfarkel based on his experiences with the world's oldest profession. According to Barfakel: "As a single man who enjoys a good time, I've availed myself to the occasional pleasures of women of the night in Las Vegas. There are a lot of people who have no idea how one goes about buying the services of a prostitute. Whether they ever want to try it or not, inquiring minds want to know! So here it is... the ins and outs of prostitution in Las Vegas. Pun intended."

Barfakel's book has received glowing reviews from a host of industry experts including Stanford Wong, Anthony Curtis, Don Schlesinger, Max Rubin, Kevin Blackwood, Viktor Nacht, Eliot Jacobson, Ralph Stricker, Parker, LVBear, Howard Schwartz and Michael Konik (read their reviews at www.youvegotheat.com/book_reviews-html).
