Why is there a twelve on the cover of this blackjack book instead of the usual twenty-one? No blackjack author in their right mind would put a hand of twelve on the cover. Glen Wiggy did - he is full of surprises like that.

It also introduces blackjack card-counting in a fun and easy-to-learn format. In addition, everyday casino patrons, starving puppies, angry pit bosses, French doughnuts, talking seagulls, and 1536 bottled waters make unforgettable appearances in these entertaining stories tailored for casual blackjack gamblers. For players pursuing the game for serious profit, Wiggy also presents practical tips on aspects of blackjack basic strategy, fundamentals of card-counting, techniques for managing money, and dangers of greedy gambling behavior.
