Princes of Darkness delves into the murky and secretive world of the professional Blackjack player. In a three-year period, Carl Sampson and his team took the casinos for a seven-figure sum and now he reveals how they did it. Carl Sampson started out working a croupier in the gaming industry but – frustrated at being overlooked for promotion – he determined to take them on and beat them at their own game.

This review is from: Princes of Darkness: The World of High Stakes Blackjack (Paperback)

It is a novel to be entertaining. It is not a seroious black jack book, the card counting strategy showed is the traditional +/- balance count.
It is a book nice to read but it will not add a lot to your black jack knowledge.
