Ken Palluotto

My name is Ken Palluotto, and I want to thank you visiting my website.  I hope you enjoy my video seminar, or a live one.  I believe you will greatly benefit from my forty years of experience playing, studying and teaching casino blackjack.

I started playing "21" as a young kid growing up in New England.  Like most kids, I would work doing odd jobs in the community.  I always had spending money from mowing lawns, shoveling snow, etc.  Most of my friends did the same.  Then I discovered that I could take my friends money, also, by playing blackjack.  We would play for nickels and dimes, but I could make several dollars a week extra playing cards.  I didn't really know the game back then, but I always had a good head for math and logic, which is what blackjack is.  I knew more than my friends, and that was enough to beat them.  When I saw how easy it was to make money from other kids, I became interested in learning more about the game, much more.

The year I turned 12, my mother asked me for my Christmas "wish list", as she always did.  I could tell that she wasn't thrilled to see that I wanted a blackjack book for Christmas at age 12.  She knew I had been playing with the other kids.  She probably wasn't thrilled with that, either, but never made a big deal of it.   Once I convinced her that reading a book would not make me a career criminal, she ended up buying me a book.  Since neither of us knew what book to buy, it was just a lucky break that she bought the best book available at the time, "Beat the Dealer" by Ed Thorpe.

I read and reread my book several times.  I learned the basic strategy as a 12 year old.  I even learned how to count cards and calculate a bet soon after.  The next thing I learned was that I couldn't get a game anywhere.  I was blackballed in my own hometown.  I was left with reading, studying and practicing on my own.  After joining the Navy after high school, I soon had the same problem on board my ship.  I was not welcome in those games, either.  I couldn't wait to turn 21 so I could play in the casinos where they weren't afraid of me.  My early success in the casinos was up and down for a while.  It was then that I realized I still had a lot to learn, but I did just that.  I ironed out my wrinkles, and honed my skills.  Over time, I have become a true authority in the world of casino blackjack.  I have won a lot of money over the years, mostly in Las Vegas, but also in Louisiana and cruise ships.

At this point in my life, I actually enjoy teaching the game more than playing it, so that is what I'm doing.  I do live seminars, plus the online seminar video.  I also do group seminars for corporate conventions, and I have written a comprehensive book on the game.  I think the $95 you invest will be the best money you ever invested in the game of blackjack.  That is what the average player spends on two or three hands.  You will gain a wealth of knowledge for a small investment.  Everyone "thinks" they know how to play blackjack.  After you complete the course, ask yourself again if you really knew how to play blackjack.  

Enjoy!
