About the Book

If you’ve ever wondered what unfolds in the day-in-day-out life of a professional blackjack player, Tales from the Felt features 21 of the most notorious card counters in the world recounting a memorable moment or experience. Willing to go on the record in their own words, they tell the real-life triumphs, tribulations and/or turning points that have stayed with them, equally thrilling and thoughtful.

Threatened by casinos, chased by police, cornered by loneliness—this book is about more than just big wins and high adventure. It is about the daily grind, managing expectations, wrestling with doubt and sadness, as well as the truly strange twists and turns that can arise for those who travel the road to beating casinos at their own game.

In the first exquisitely-illustrated anthology of its kind, advantage players step out of the shadows to speak to their own unique experiences in pursuit of legally beating the game of blackjack for millions of dollars. No two stories are alike, and the full range of emotions is on display. Each story is full of What-would-you-do(?) moments, brought to life by original full-color illustrations.

These stories will not disappoint—from big wins to big screw-ups, celebrity sightings, cheap motels, bad teammates, family curses, indigestion, entanglements with police, the mafia at home and abroad, loneliness, panic, late-night pizza and fine French pastries. It’s all here, suitable to display and share.

"I had never been in a casino. I’d never thought about casinos. I didn’t want to go to a casino. And yet, within a year’s time, I was making more than $400 an hour and closing a $100,000 bankroll, all from money I won from the casinos."
