Years ago I attempted to read a card counting book but quickly put it down. The recent movie "21" rekindled my curiosity and I decided to gamble on this DVD. Wow, did I come up a winner.
No extraneous fluff or distracting flashy stuff, this video slowly and clearly explained exactly how it is done. It was all content and I got it. The presentation was very vivid, charts were immensely helpful, audio was smooth and it was well paced. Not only was it obvious that Dravot is a professional gambler who has been around but I bet he has teaching experience.
The chapters have a very logical flow. Chapter three is the meat. It exposes the mystery of card counting. He slowly, with very clear visuals, explains how to keep a running count. And instead of the dreaded division formula the running count is displayed onto a graph divided into cold, warm and hot sections. A light bulb moment! A very novel concept those charts.
This DVD will appeal to the intellectually curious who want to know what is behind door number three - how is it done. Also, to those who aspire to give it a try this is a boot camp without heavy math. You will learn exactly how to extract money from a casino. Dravot used an expression that stuck with me, "Become the David against the casino Goliaths". I haven't thrown a stone yet but one is in my hand.
