New bj book - huh?

Apparently this book was just released on amazon - anyone know anything about it or its author, J. Trupiano?

Defying Basic Strategy

ace this book is very transparently bullshit. from the looks of it the author is a typically clueless dealer who wrote a book based on his "experience" dealing 21.

22 Pages, Thats all it takes to beat the game. Damn what have I been missing for 49 years?

I defy basic strategy all the time. Who knew? If I could only win all the time. :-)

You can "look inside the book" and read a few pages. It's pretty funny.

Here's a gem:

Quote:

For some strange reason the best cards are dealt first out of the shoe to the first base position. There is a mathematical reason for this, but this isn't a calculus manual so it's not necessary to know the exact reason that this happens. The important element to know and remember just that IT HAPPENS".

From the excerpt that I read, the only thing worse than this guy's grammar is his blackjack advice. Save your $9.

Split your tens: 2 hands you can win!

Hit till 17: Dealer showing a 6? He's gonna draw to 17 so try to end up with 18.

Insurance: Yes on 17-20. Matter of fact insure everything. You don't drive to the 7-11 nearby without insurance do you?

Double as much as you can: Get the money out there. Double 12s, you rarely bust with them, only 10s can screw you!

Squeeze play: Not just in baccarat. Look for pips and say "monkey" real loud to get a 20. Then proceed to split them. Throw the cards at the dealer like a dart, they like to feel like they are part of the game.

Divorce lawyers: If you see one playing the $100 table bring your girlfriend in a red dress to the tables ASAP.

OMG that is priceless.

I can't improve on your quote from the content, so I'll snark on the book cover:



That title font reminds me of this:
