Ryan "xSCWx" Dodge's Winning at Blackjack
Prior to Black Friday I had been playing up through the $5,500 HUSNGs and as high as 300/600 ($60,000 buy-in) PLO cash games. Action on the US sites sucked and legalization in the US wasn't making much progress. I had just bought and furnished my first home and had close friends and family nearby. Picking up and leaving wasn't much of an option. Live poker poker was feasible, but 15-30 hands per hour was a bore and and I was more of a heads up kind of guy. Additionally, there is no casino poker action in Texas so I would have to find home games or grind or spend a lot of time traveling. A friend of mine got me into card counting blackjack. I immersed myself in it. It scaled well with my bankroll and allowed me a great hourly without a huge learning curve to start. To date, I've made over $200,000 in profit from blackjack in addition to enjoying amazing comps and getting a very fresh change of pace from the poker environment.

Become a VIP
I've received over $50,000 worth of comps from casinos. These range from free flights to Vegas, complimentary rooms, steakhouse dinners and tickets to shows. Anderon Silva's big UFC fights? I'm there. Cirque de Soleil? I've seen them all. The casinos win a lot off of most blackjack players so they spend a lot of money to keep them coming back. Beyond all of this, the biggest benefit to me is that I get invited to poker and blackjack tournaments with some of the casino's biggest degenerates. Common conversation at these poker tournaments: "What's your game?" "Roulette." Some of these guys have never played a hand of poker in their life.
Love freerolls? I made $18,000 from 4th place in that tournament and did not have to pay an entry fee.
Build a Bankroll
I'll teach you about risk and reward. You want to know your risk of ruin with 500 units? I'll tell you. You want to know your hourly profit betting $25 at a 6 person table? You'll find out. The beauty of this game is that if you double your stakes you instantly double your hourly. There is no ceiling.
Learn Advanced Secrets
I've always told everyone that card counting is easy but the hard part is not being caught. I can tell you how to act, play, and blend in with the rest of the tourists. I can even help you conseal how much you're profiting from the casino's records.
Proven Strategy
I've used this strategy successfully for the last two years. I discussed it with other experts, run simulations across BILLIONS of hands on my computer, and refined the strategy with knowledge learned books, web research, and from my time as a high stakes poker player. You don't need to be a genius to learn how to beat blackjack. You just need an understanding of how the game works and where the edge shifts. You don't need a team like in the movies.
Questions
Is it illegal to count cards, change bets or play blackjack professionally in a casino?
Card counting is only illegal if you are using electronic devices to help you count the cards. While counting in your head, you can't be arrested or even detained. With my strategy it will be very hard for them to detect you, but even if they do the consequences are trivial. The worst case scenario is that they bar you from playing in their casino.
What kind of hourly rate can I make?
You can expect to make somewhere around 1.75 units per hour while playing with a $200 average bet. If you are playing lower stakes than you can make more units per hour. At higher stakes a bit less.
What bankroll is needed to start?
A 400 unit bankroll is reasonable for testing the waters. I suggest more if your bankroll is unreplaceable. Less if you are just looking to run up some quick cash over the weekend.
How hard is it to learn these strategies? Do I have to be a math genius?
Contrary to what the movies try to imply, card counting is laughably easy. I've designed this pack to make the learning curve as casual as possible. The research is all done for you and with a little bit of practice you will have no trouble employing my strategy while sipping a beer and chatting with a girlfriend. The strategy is broken down into steps that allow you gradually advance your skills rather than having to figure it all out at once. Even as a novice card counter you can develop a big enough edge that it won't break your piggy bank if you make a mistake here and there. Mistakes help you blend in anyway. You don't want to chase your edge so far that you actually LOOK like a professional. I teach a strategy that is easy to implement while still having fun on vacation.
What's Included
Three strategy videos, "Intro to Counting," "How to Count" and "Remaining Undetected." A 4th video, "Speed Lesson" that summarizes the first three videos (this can be used if you want to hit the tables as soon as possible or if you just want a quick refresher). I've also included basic strategy cards for different types of blackjack tables. Most blackjack players are unaware that basic strategy differs with different table rules. You can actually print these cards up and place them on the table during play (explained in the video). There are also strategy charts that will help you press your edge while counting.
Cost - $49.99
