By his own admission, Eliot has taken it on the chin from every side of the table. Casinos hate him because he reveals advantage plays to AP's. AP's hate him because he reveals advantage plays to Casino's. My girlfriend hates him because "Do you really need another god damn gambling book??!" - Yes.... yes I do.

Personally, as someone new to advantage play, I'm thankful to have such a concise resource at my disposal.

This book is a tome. There's 135 chapters spanning 475 pages. Eliot begins with brief explanations on what conditions need to be present for a game to be beat by counting, hole carding, edge sorting, top carding, and collusion. He then goes on to explain how to use those strategies to gain an edge in Blackjack, Baccarat, numerous proprietary table games, and nearly 100 of the most common side bets. There's also a lengthy section on beating table game promotions. Unfortunately, there's no information on machine play, but I don't think that was ever Eliot's intent.

The book also includes a few miscellaneous chapters with interesting bits of info, like an analysis of Don Johnson's plays, and a recount of a rather vicious back-rooming Eliot was unfortunate enough to experience.

It's worth noting that a large portion of the book is a printed version of AP heat. However I believe there's some new information included. Before purchasing, I would compare the blog posts to the table of contents posted on the book's website and see if it's worth the $50 price tag to you. Personally, I like reading things on ink and paper from time to time.

Another complaint I've heard about the book is that it's a ripped off re-write of James Grosejan's work. I'm not spending $1500 on a f****ng book, so I couldn't say one way or another. But from what I've heard of "the book", I'd wager that Elliot's explanations are less math intensive and more accessible to the layman. But in either case, my opinion is that math is factual information, not a creative pursuit. No one has a monopoly on the optimal strategy for hole carding 3 card poker any more than 2+2=4.

Personally, there's only a couple complaints I have with this book. First, while Eliot tells of how much hate-mail he gets for publishing this information (almost to the point of martyrdom), he also makes the the claim that that the book is written neither for AP's or Casino employees specifically, but rather for anyone who finds it interesting, and for a higher cause of making knowledge publicly available to all. However, the book is very obviously written for those responsible for protecting table games. Which is normally something I'd take much issue with, but as a reader it feels disingenuous to claim on one page "this book wasn't written for casinos, I swear!", and then start the next page with "Top 10 ways to identify an AP in your casino".

My other gripe is that there are quotes in the book taken directly from posts on this forum. I'm not sure if Eliot received permission from the OP's to re-publish their posts (I can't imagine they would grant permission given the content), but either way this just left a sour taste in my mouth.

I also wish that more was written on strategies and methods of hole/top carding and edge sorting...but I guess everything can't be handed out on a silver papery platter.

Overall, I feel that Advanced Advantage Play should be required reading for anyone with even a passing interest in gaining an edge on table games. It's certainly going to be one of the the most worn volumes in my collection.

I just skimmed through some pages and couldn't find a direct quote like I claimed. But I did find this...




I still think I saw a verbatim quote in there, but it's possible that the above bit is what I'm remembering. I'll look a little harder tomorrow, like I mentioned this book is huge.

If Eliot lifts posts from WoV I think he would need to get permission from us to do so.

I say this because when we joined WoV there are no conditions stating that we give up our copyright rights when we write something on this site. For example, if I wrote a statement regarding something factual or posted a picture that I took someone else could not take that picture or article and publish it and I believe this includes Mike or the site owners.

I looked at the forum rules and there are no rules or statements regarding copyright which to me means that our posts are copyrighted until 70 years after we die.

The whole site is Copyright Mike so at least Eliot would have to get permission from Mike and I am sure that Mike would want Eliot to get permission from each of us which he could get via PM. That would be the right and I believe legal thing to do.

Nonetheless when I saw the book for sale I thought that every casino is going to buy multiple copies of this book and I appreciate that casinos would be a major buyer of this book over the lay AP person who probably knows all of this already.

Most casinos have real life data from own operations day-in and out, and from other casinos. I would be surprised to see them buying this book. Well, exceptions - the new floor persons might be interested in the analysis.

I'm pretty sure Eliot asked permission when he was writing the book and I said "yes." So, I'll take any heat from it. I do apologize to anyone quoted who feels abused by the situation. It was not my intent to cause any hard feelings but to help out Eliot with his book.

You may be right when it comes to Las Vegas Casinos, but you may not understand how many poorly managed and underqualified Tribal Casinos there are.

I can promise you, many have no clue about the game protection items in the book.

Really?

How?

Yes, I understand the "sovereign nation" status afforded to them, but really what can they do, what have they done, that isn't done in Sin City?

Tie AP's spread eagled to an ant hill?

Scalp Ap's?

Wiz,

Can you (or anyone) share your thoughts about downtown Las Vegas in terms of:

1. I'm afraid to see 3:2 BJ disappear and get replaced with 6:5 BJ. As it is, I only come once a year!

2. I recently "graduated" myself from $1.25 VP play (max at $0.25 machines). If downtown goes from a $5 min BJ table to a $10 min, that's too rich for me.

3. I'm just now getting my feet (hands?) wet learning the Hi-Lo count. I am a low roller, and I don't have an aggressive BJ playing style, but the idea of any heat bothers me.

Just to inform Eliot that our team won 8.2 millions HKD in Year 2016 before they reduced the payoff. Eliot can publish hundreds books but do you think that casinos care/believe what inside his books ? Can you imagine that how much the casinos is behind us as AP ?

We played for about 15 weeks, 3 investors, we hired
9 bettors/counters (USD 200 per day + free meals). It might not that impressive but the main issue here is why the casinos only reduced payoff after 15 weeks ? Either they don't believe their game(with house edge more than 10%) can be beaten by counters or they are clueless what we are doing ! This game already published in Eliot's book before we attack it, so do you guys think that all the "books" out there will affect APs ? THE ANSWER IS NO !


p/s : We are not using TC counting systems that published in Eliot's book but rather use our own "RC" counting system( and other "super" techniques) that is more simple and yet effective. So no thanks to his book. LOL

He said it was a game with a house edge of over 10%.

Because it was in Asia, my best guess is that it was a Baccarat side bet that is vulnerable to counting.

In any case, he got a hell of a deal on the guns for hire at $200/day.

We played for 15 weeks. USD200/day/counter, total cost(counter salary) = USD190K, net profit each investor( total 3 investors) = USD270k.

Am I promoting his book ? We can develop MUCH MUCH better and yet effective counting systems than what in his book ! We are using counting system call EXCESS RUNNING COUNT(ERC) which developed by our programmer. Have anyone here heard about it or can you find it in his book ?

ERC = S - cN, S = total no of seen cards or total no used cards, c= constant, N = no of seen card for a particular card rank, bet when ERC > trigger value !

He is still much behind us in term of advantage play and we NEVER use his counting system ! Do you think that we NEED his book ?

BTW, other than counting, we have more "super" techniques to beat the games.

In a reverse psychology kind of way. When you come off as arrogant, some people might get scared and want to read it, because you say they wont. You're playing the role of the "bad guy", which could sway people to read it. You'll understand when you wake up tomorrow.

You may be correct but I am very sure that personal from casinos( especially Asia casinos) will NEVER read gambling books. They just like a robot clock in and clock out after 8 hours, do you think they care how much their boss lost/win ? LOL

I don't doubt your claims. I don't know why anyone here would find it hard to believe many casinos outside the US are way behind when it comes to AP methods and game protection.

I was wondering how the casinos in Asia react to Advantage players once they are noticed?

Are there any laws against counting?

Who oversees the gaming there?

How would a white American male fair in that environment?

If they know you are counting or using other legal techniques, they will only NOT allow you to bet and ask you to leave, nothing more than that.

OR

In our case, they reduced the payoff, LOL !

No laws against counting

Pit manager should do that but most of the time they are just "sleeping"

I think they will pay more attention to white man especially when you are winning big. They just don't believe Asian players know about card counting especially for the game of baccarat. Sometime we just can't blame them because 99% of the Asian players are just the "addicted gambler".
