Meadow may be a horse-racing expert (He publishes a newsletter, has written several books, and has cashed a lot of big tickets), but he’s also a polished blackjack player. When he decided to pack up his car with suitcase, a word processor, and a mere $8,000 to play blackjack in every casino in the state of Nevada, he was certain of one thing - he had no idea what he’d find. Leaving behind his business, his fiancée, and his son, he embarks on a journey into the soul of Nevada and of Barry Meadow. Subtitled 'A True Tale of Life, Death and Splitting Tens in Winnemucca' , the book takes the reader on a trip through remote towns, little cities and big cities, and along the way, while he plays blackjack and assesses everything and everyone around him. He lets the reader in on some little-known secrets of gambling. Does he finish his trek? Does he win money? Can YOU win money? Is it good to be a whale? Well written, entertaining, and informative in a witty insightful style, this intriguing tale might be one of the year’s best sellers. Index 351 Pgs.1999
