About the Author

Arnold Snyder is one of the legends of blackjack, a high-stakes professional blackjack player who has been writing about casino blackjack for over two decades. His first book, The Blackjack Formula (1980), revolutionized the ways professional card counters attacked the games. From 1981-2004, he was the publisher of Blackjack Forum, a quarterly journal on gambling for professional players. He has authored hundreds of articles on casino blackjack in dozens of publications in the past twenty years. He has appeared (in disguise) on the Travel Channel, and in The Hot Shoe, a 2003 video documentary on card counting. He was elected one of the seven charter members of the Blackjack Hall of Fame.
