About The Author

Site, book and Blackjack Toolkit Author

The author of Pocket Guide to Winning Blackjack (J. Schaffel) studied and perfected playing the game of Blackjack in casinos starting in the early 1990s. He is well aware that today's casinos keep trying to change the way Blackjack is played, by introducing new rule variations and trying to reduce players' odds any way possible that they think they can get away with. He has played (and won more than lost!) in Las Vegas, Atlantic City, Vancouver, in the Caribbean, Niagara Falls, Montreal, New York, and at many small and large casinos across North America. The strategies that he teaches can be applied to any land-based or online casino throughout Europe, North America, Asia and anywhere in the world.

Knowledge of the game -- acquired over many years of playing casino Blackjack -- were applied to his powerful Blackjack pocket guide, with the first printing in 2001. The "Winning Casino Blackjack" website was launched in 2005 with the purpose of educating Blackjack players and assisting them in their quest to overcome the casino's advantage when playing Blackjack. His main goal here is to help players understand the reality of the game, the odds and the strategies for winning. 

Reality is the key -- there is no such thing as a "secret code to winning Blackjack", nor are there any effective shortcuts or "Blackjack systems" that would enable a player to skip the learning of Blackjack basic strategy. 

There are many styles and rule variations in casino Blackjack. Pocket Guide To Winning Blackjack focuses on the most common, so that the lessons learned can be applied almost anywhere. This is the culmination of six months of preparation and years of actual casino experience. The information is up-to-date and can be used in casinos today, and presumably for years to come.

At your own speed, and in simple terms, J. Schaffel will teach you proper basic strategy, sound money management and assist you in developing the tools and skills you need to win at casino Blackjack. Everything is explained clearly -- from the rules of blackjack to advanced winning strategies, including card counting. There is information in the book that is not included in the website, and vice versa. Combined, you have everything you need to take on the casinos -- you just need to take your time, and practice Blackjack to gain confidence before putting money down.

You don’t need to learn the hard way. Save your money and learn to play well. This is a game where understanding probabilities is the key to winning. The author has done most of the background work for you. It is now up to you to practice your skill and gain the advantage.

It’s still called gambling, but it is also your money! You owe it to yourself to be informed.

The author has studied many styles of play. Pocket Guide to Winning Blackjack, along with this website, will teach you in simple language what the 200 to 300 page books try to explain. The strategies are presented to you without complicated mathematical formulas so that you can begin using them immediately with confidence. Practice at home, before putting your money down in a casino, to test your skills and try the strategies.
