Now I teach it.
Step by step. One on one.

Me and you, over Zoom — until you can walk into a casino and take their money.

01 — GET YOUR PLAN

No two students get the same plan.

Tell me where you live. I pull up every casino within driving distance, sim their games in millions of hands, and hand you the answer: which casino, which game, and what it pays.

  • Millions of hands simmed before you ever bet a dollar
  • Built around your bankroll and your goals

02 — GET TRAINED

Me and you, over Zoom — until you're ready.

Every skill gets drilled until it's perfect — only then do we move to the next. By the time you're done, you have the edge over the casino.

  • I teach you everything I know
  • You drill on my software between every call
  • Test out with me until you're casino-ready

03 — GO TO THE TABLES

Start making money.

You walk in, sit at the game we picked, and play the exact plan we built — the one you've already run hundreds of times.

  • You know what your game pays before you sit down
  • You've already survived casino speed in training
  • Now you do it for real

The best card counting trainer on the planet.

01 — THE SIM LAB

See what a game pays per hour — before you play it.

Type in any casino's rules and your bets. It deals millions of hands in seconds and hands you the answer: dollars per hour, odds of going broke, and the bankroll you'd need.

  • The same math I run before every trip I take
  • Trip Planner: your exact trip, replayed 2,000 times
  • Target Earnings: name your $/hour, it builds the plan

02 — THE TABLE

Dealt like a real casino. Graded like real money's on the line.

Every decision — every hit, stand, double, split, and bet — checked against the math, instantly.

  • The dealer stops mid-game and demands the count
  • Three speeds, up to Brutal — real casino pace
  • Sandbox mode: nothing graded, test anything

03 — THE CURRICULUM

Zero to table-ready. One locked step at a time.

The exact progression I take my students through — each step locked behind a test-out. No skipping ahead. No lying to yourself.

  • Perfect strategy → the count → bet sizing → advanced plays
  • Includes the 56 hands almost everyone gets wrong
  • Ends at THE GAUNTLET — beat it, and you know your game survives a real casino

04 — CERTIFY

Prove you're ready before the casino tests you for real.

The top exam deals at real casino speed and fails you for a single mistake. Pass it, and you're not hoping you're ready to bet real money — you've proven it.

  • Pass and get a certificate you can actually show people
  • Team play certifications — MIT-style spotter crews
  • Build your own custom exams

05 — TRACKER

Your results vs. the math.

Log your real casino sessions — the chart tells you whether it's bad luck or a leak in your game.

  • Log your exact game and hours played
  • See if you're earning what the math says you should

06 — SPANISH 21

The only Spanish 21 training system in existence.

A beatable game almost nobody knows how to attack. Until now, learning it meant a 25-year-old book. This is the first software that trains it and sims it — period.

  • Its own charts, plays, and sims — same graded table
  • Included with your training — no upsell

actually get to the tables.

Questions people actually ask.

Is card counting illegal?
No. Counting is thinking about the cards you're allowed to see. It's not cheating, and it's not a crime — which is why casinos can't arrest you for it. All they can do is kick you out. That's why they keep reports on players like me.
Do you really get kicked out?
Eventually, yes. Casinos don't like consistent winners. You can delay it — you can't stop it. The goal is to take their money and move to the next spot. And there are real techniques — camouflage, cover plays — that extend how long you can play. That's part of the training.
How much can you make?
Depends on your bankroll — but you'd be surprised. There are games out there worth hundreds, even thousands, per hour. You don't have to take my word for it — the Sim Lab proves it.
How much bankroll do I need?
It depends on your goals and the table minimums where you play — but a solid start is about $10,000.
Do I need experience?
No. I've taught people from scratch — I've even run my own card counting team. This training teaches you how to play blackjack, starting with the basics all the way through the advanced stuff. It's about effort, not experience.
How long does training take?
Everyone learns at a different pace. I've had students ready in a week; others took a few months. I train you until you're ready — and the software's included with your training.
Does it work on my phone?
It runs in your browser, optimized for phone and desktop. Nothing to download.
