Snyder is probably the most prolific writer on blackjack, having written regular columns for Card Player and Casino Player for well over ten years, plus dozens of other columns and articles for various and sundry gaming periodicals, past and present. For over 20 years, he edited, published, and wrote a sizable portion of his own quarterly journal for professional gamblers, Blackjack Forum.
Blackjack Wisdom presents a selection of Arnold Snyder’s best writings — the most outrageous, controversial, irreverent, poignant, astute and/or simply hilarious rantings he has to offer. Snyder skewers the casino industry, phony gambling system sellers, other gambling writers, compulsive gamblers, the gambling regulatory agencies, pit bosses, dealers, casino managers, surveillance personnel, and industry marketing experts, one and all. And in the process, he relays more honest, useful, and truly valuable information about playing blackjack profitably in today’s casino environment than any other book on the market.
Blackjack Wisdom includes Snyder’s 13-part Bachelor of Counting series, which outlines the basic course of instruction Snyder would require if card counting were to be offered as a college course. The series also includes previously unpublished portions. It details the history of card counting, teaches card counting basics like expectation and analyzing table conditions, and also provides "required reading" for the "classes." Snyder takes to task some of the common misconceptions about playing blackjack, including toking, basic strategy, card "stealing," and progression betting systems. He also explains why various systems don’t work, introduces a card-counting system designed for the vision-impaired, and discusses what it takes to go pro as a player. Funny and irreverent, Blackjack Wisdom is as informative as it is entertaining.
