Blackjack Player and Gambling Author Henry Tamburin

Henry Tamburin Bio

Henry Tamburin is a noted blackjack player and expert on gambling. He is also an author, lecturer, and player. He has over 700 articles to his credit, and he is renowned for his ability at the blackjack table. Tamburin has been featured on radio and television, and he has written several books on casino gambling.

Henry played for the first time during a trip to Las Vegas in the summer of 1968. At the time, he was a graduate student at the University of Maryland (studying chemistry), and a fellow graduate student and his wife convinced Mr. and Mrs. Tamburin to take a trip to Vegas with them. As money was tight, Henry and his wife were hesitant to go, but the other couple persisted.

When they arrived at their hotel, they were immediately confronted with a long line at the front desk. While his wife waited to check in, Henry decided to kill some time by playing a few hands of blackjack. Henry had read that the game was beatable, but by the time his wife had registered and picked up the room key, Henry had already lost their entire gambling bankroll. After his crushing defeat at the blackjack table, Henry vowed to study the game and master it. The rest is history.

Tamburin has a Doctorate degree in Chemistry. This, coupled with a strong background in mathematics, allows Henry to devise the optimum playing strategy for blackjack and various other casino games. He once operated a successful blackjack school in New Jersey, which allows him to better instruct students in his various gaming seminars, personal appearances, and written material.

More About Henry Tamburin

As he was employed as a manager of a large international chemical company for 30 years, Henry never really considered himself a professional blackjack player. However, he has retired in recent years and devoted more time to the game. Having purchased a second home in Las Vegas, Henry has also begun to play more video poker in the last few years.

Showing his diversity at casino games, Henry recently enrolled in a class on Dice Control for Craps players. At the end of the class, the students were invited to participate in a No-Sevens contest. The player who rolled the dice the most before a seven came up would win the contest. The class record was 39 rolls (set by a man who would go on to be a class instructor). Henry shattered the record with 45 straight non-seven rolls.
