Blackjack Autumn
In Response To: Re: Here's the picture I hope! ()

Very nice chip James! To add on to you Nevada tour question a book with this kind of theme was Blackjack Autumn by Barry Meadow. Meadow is a pro gambler out of SoCal specializing in ponies and authoring a newsletter on nags. An accomplished card counter, he sets out to play BJ at every casino offering a live game in Nevada. Generally interesting though uneven, you also get a glimpse of the world of a pro gambler and some of the deals, scams and pitfalls. Also the typical pro's delusional rationalizations although Meadow is pretty aware of his tenuous career choice. Folks that haven't been to the Searchlight Nugget or the 4-Way or even Railroad Pass might like to take a look at this book.
