About the Author
"Hollywood" Dave Stann is a professional gambler and an actor, and combines the two professions on a regular basis. He's competed in every "World Series of Blackjack" tournament; was a co-host for two seasons of GSN's "Celebrity Blackjack;" has been featured on A&E's "Caesars 24/7," Travel Channel's "Vegas Challenge," and Spike TV's "King of Vegas;" and is currently part of Team UBT for CBS's "Ultimate Blackjack Tour. " Known as "the bad boy of blackjack," Dave uses psychological skill and a very loud mouth to intimidate his opponents; he is a card-carrying member of Mensa; and he has counted cards in casinos around the world both for himself and as a member of an elite blackjack team. Initially a card counter to help pay the bills between acting gigs, Dave has combined his love of gambling with his love for being in front of the cameras and is having the time of his life. In "Hollywood Blackjack," Dave instructs the reader on how to count cards as well as entertains with hilarious stories about his experiences as a counter both on- and off-camera.

Customer Reviews

great update for the stuffy world of blackjack strategy
anyone who has read other blackjack theory books should agree that "Hollywood Blackjack" is a refreshing change. i can think of other books that give similar information, but staring at charts is just not how i learn. dave also gives a glimpse in to a world of gambling that is what every aspiring gambler hopes to experience. it is great to know that the dream is still alive. and somewhere in another weird world, hunter thompson is surely proud.

Hollywood Dave Walks the Walk
Sure there are numerous books teaching one how to play blackjack. Hollywood Blackjack is fresh and provides the reader with time-tested winning strategies, but in a clear, easy-to-follow manner tailored for today's casino environment. In his entertaining style, Hollywood Dave shares his recent experiences in beating the casinos. While we are treated to a primer on tournament play, Dave tells us about some of his tournament experiences. A thoroughly enjoyable read.

This book is better than "The Secret".
Granted...The Secret is a pile of poo....but this book has great advice. If you are not big on reading books that are full of stats and want to be entertained while getting some good advice at what to do at a blackjack table, then this book does the trick. It is young and hip.....not boring. for me that is always key.
