Ask Dr. BlackJack By Sam Barrington What do the Readers Think of
"Ask Dr Blackjack"? "I struggled to stay even playing Blackjack and
thought I could be a better player. After reading "Ask Dr
Blackjack" my game really picked up when I instituted the extra
plays in the book." Phillip Cuffman - Attorney "I have travelled
all over the world gambling with my husband. We have both played
professionally and done well, thought we knew all there was to know
about Blackjack. After reading "Ask Dr Blackjack" we discovered
plays that only enhanced our winning experiences. This book is well
worth the price." Margaret Hinson - Midtown Billiards, Since 1940
(Owner) "Blackjack is a hobby of mine. I enjoy the game but had
trouble grasping some of the methods involved. After reading "Ask
Dr Blackjack" I understood why I was supposed to make certain
plays. Barrington's logic was a big boost for my game." Dustin
Monday - Computer Systems Engineer "As a recreational Blackjack
player, Barrington's insight on the correct plays has made a great
difference in how far my gambling dollars go when I visit a Casino.
I just wish I would have found this book sooner." Greg Pumphrey -
Architect "This book was extremely helpful in advancing my
Blackjack winnings but the inside stories about the Casino activity
is what made the book." Owen Ross - Retired Banker This book would
bot have been possible without all the hard work of Billy Mathys
and Arkansas Graphics, Inc.
