Since 1995, a professional blackjack player and teacher who uses the pseudonym GameMaster, has been offering a free blackjack course on his website. I wrote about the blackjack school last year.

The GameMaster’s Blackjack School is a free course that consists of nineteen lessons that take you from basic strategy to the advanced principles of card counting. It is designed to be a self-study course which allows players to study at their own pace. Many players have learned how to play winning blackjack with the help of this course. Although it is very concise, some players still had questions as they and studied the course.

The GameMaster realized this and once said, “It has always frustrated me a little that I couldn't demonstrate to everybody the skills needed for this, exactly like I used to do in my "live" classes.”

He has been looking for a way to solve this problem. And the recently he found the perfect solution. As they always say a picture’s worth a thousand words and the task was how to get the pictures to the students. Within the last year, technology has improved making it possible to record the course on a DVD.

The GameMaster’s Blackjack School DVD is an interactive course designed to be used in conjunction with free downloads from the website containing course material you will want to print out, such as the basic strategy matrixes and the test materials.

The DVD allows the GameMaster to demonstrate many of the principals explained in the course material. An excellent demonstration given on the DVD shows you how to countdown a deck of cards. He also covers all the material in the written course but is able to explain it in greater detail by showing you as you follow along with the lessons. Some of what the DVD will show you:

1. How to memorize the proper playing strategy for the game of your choice
2. How to learn the Hi/Lo method of counting Cards
3. How to count cards in the casino
4. How to recognize when you have the advantage
5. How to bet in a way that is based upon proven mathematical principles

The DVD contains Six Lesson Sections. It can be run on your computer if you have a DVD drive or from the DVD player connected to your home TV.

I have always advised players to lean to play casino games at home before going to the casino. The best way to learn to play a casino game properly is with the aid of a good book and a video along with practice at home. The written material for GameMaster’s Blackjack School is more comprehensive than some books that you will find on the market and it is free. The DVD is reasonably priced at $49.95. Together they are a powerful course that will teach you how to win at the Blackjack table. Once you make the purchase you are not merely forgotten. If you have any questions about the course once you start your studies, you always can e-mail the GameMaster directly for an answer.
