Burning the Tables in Las Vegas: Keys to Success in Blackjack
Ian Andersen's first book, Turning the Tables on Las Vegas (Vanguard Press), is considered the classic book on casino comportment, or in layman's terms - beating the casinos and getting away with it.
Unlike the early mathematics-based blackjack tomes, Turning concentrated on the psychological aspects of winning, and eventually sold more than 250,000 copies.Soon thereafter, Andersen returned to the casino trenches, where he spent the next 20-plus years, anonymously perfecting his personal program for success in blackjack and poker, as well as life's greater games.
In his long-awaited sequel, Burning the Tables in Las Vegas, Andersen describes, in-depth, his carefully cultivated techniques for winning at blackjack, health, and happiness.
