About the author
Sam Barrington, the president of a large commercial parking company, has played blackjack for more than 30 years. He keeps a log of every casino he's played in, including some of the most prestigious in the world, to continue to improve his game. Although once banned from 46 casinos, he says his success comes not from shortcuts but from treating blackjack as a business and running it accordingly.
