For the amount of vitriol directed at Colin Jones online, you’d think the man eats babies. In reality, he’s guilty of a far greater sin—he wrote a card-counting book, The 21st-Century Card Counter. That book is one pillar of a viral card-counting enterprise also supported by the documentary movie Holy Rollers, the website blackjackapprenticeship.com (BJA), […]

My Explanation
In the comments on gamblingwithanedge.com relating to a recent blog post of mine, a man named Tim wrote: Perhaps this has been discussed multiple times, but why don’t the Strip casinos offer full pay video poker?

Colin Jones (S1 E1): You Had Me at “Zippered Po...
People online think that I have great disdain for card counters. That isn’t true, per se.

I don’t play golf at all, and the only miniature golf experience I’ve had in the past ten years was playing a few 9-hole rounds on a cruise ship with Bonnie. The putters had steel blades covered in brightly colored plastic. I used a blue one because those were the longest and I’m pretty tall. […]
