Blackjack is one of the casino world's favourite games. Although - as with all casino games - the odds of winning are in favour of the house, the truth is that Blackjack (which is also called Pontoon, 21 and a few other names) gives you pretty much the best chance of walking out of a casino with something to show for your time. Compared to most other casino games, as long as you play correctly, the house's odds in Blackjack are much thinner.
In this easy-to-understand guide, narrator Kent Harris provides you with ten key tips to help improve your game, maximise your chances of beating the house, and hopefully walk away with a tidy profit.
Most fans of The Simpsons can distinguish Lenny from Carl without checking their hands.

Allie Goertz and Julia Prescott have collected every essential piece of Simpsons knowledge and trivia, as well as must-do activities, and have ranked them all from 1 to 100 in this entertaining book, which was just discarded from the shelves of The Android's Dungeon & Baseball Card Shop.
'Ob ein Mensch klug ist, erkennt man an seinen Antworten. Ob ein Mensch weise ist, erkennt man an seinen Fragen.'
- Nagib Mahfuz
Ein Buch nur mit Fragen - soll das ein Witz sein? Ganz im Gegenteil! Denn die Antwort liegt bereits in Dir, sofern Du die richtigen Fragen stellst!
Fragen, die verschlossene Türen aufstoßen. Fragen, die Dich tiefer blicken lassen als je zuvor. Fragen, die pure Gänsehaut auslösen, weil sie Deine mentalen Grenzen sprengen.
Aus dem Inhalt:
Wenn Du alleine auf der Erde wärst, würdest Du regelmäßig Sport machen?
Angenommen Du wärst Fitness-Trainer, hättest Du Dich selbst gern als Schüler?
Was siehst Du als Erstes, wenn Du jetzt spontan in Deinen Kühlschrank schaust?
How sharp is your thinking? This fantastic audiobook contains over one hundred puzzles and brainteasers designed to really test that grey matter. From cunningly-worded traps to seriously tricky lateral thinking problems, narrator Kent Harris will likely have you scratching your head... until he reveals the answer, at which point - of course - you'll claim you knew it all along!
This audiobook contains the brainteasers presented in two different formats:
Initially the questions are given a section at a time: one track sees Kent asking you ten questions, then in the following track he will provide the answers.
However, if you want to hear the answers straight after each question - ideal for listening in the car or on headphones - then skip all the way to track 23, where Kent provides the answer for each question after pausing to allow you time to think.
Time to prove just how smart you are... good luck!
