Max is the author of Comp City, first published in 1994, with an expanded second edition published in 2002. In this groundbreaking book, Max exposed techniques even non-counting players could use to get an advantage over the casinos by exploiting weaknesses in the casinos’ comp systems. Max’s inside information came from his years of experience in the industry as a dealer, pit boss, and casino manager. Max still does consulting work for the Barona Casino in California.
The initial manuscript for Comp City included advanced comp-hustling techniques that could be used by professional card counters, but the editors at Huntington Press decided to delete this section from the book in order to appeal to the wider market of recreational players. These excluded portions were published in Blackjack Forum in June 1994, and can be found now in the BlackjackForumOnline.com Library.
In the mid-1990s, he started hosting the Blackjack Ball, a secret annual event for professional players, where he serves as Game Master as many of the top pros compete for the Blackjack Cup and the title of World’s Best Blackjack Player.
Now, as a host of the Game Show Network’s World Series of Blackjack, Max Rubin has become one of the most visible public advocates of professional players.

Self-Defense Products for Joggers
Last Updated on Friday, 12 March 2010 08:30 Written by admin Friday, 12 March 2010 08:30
Did you know that joggers are almost twice as likely to become victims of attacks as the population at large? And that doesn’t refer only to attacks by other humans; joggers are also at a higher risk of attacks by animals depending on where they live, most commonly: dogs, cougars, and bears.
Unfortunately, the majority of joggers who have survived attacks report that they were not carrying any type of self-defense product on their person at the time of the attack. Most agree that had they been armed with a self-defense product, they may have been able to ward off the attack completely, or at least escape the attack with fewer injuries.
If you are a regular jogger, you may have fallen prey to one or more of the myths which surround the use of personal self-defense products, including:
* They are bulky, heavy, and inconvenient to carry. Many joggers complain they don’t want to be weighed down with a bulky can of pepper spray, stun gun or other product. Joggers don’t realize there are self-defense products tailored especially for the jogger in small, easy to transport devices. They are packaged in tiny spray cans clip to a belt, a zipper pull or worn around the neck on a cord. Stun guns, in a range of sizes, are small enough to be concealed in the palm of the hand or clipped on similar to pepper spray
