LECTURES

My
business card reads in part: “Lectures, Seminars, Private Lessons.” I offer
all of the above. Most of the demand has been for speeches or lessons related
to gambling, especially my twin fortes, Backgammon and Blackjack (check the
links at the top of this page), but my repertoire is not limited to those. A
few possibilities would include: “Taxicab Confessions” “Well Manicured Fists of Fury – the
making of a low-budget kickboxing movie” “Are you sure there’s no dog in my dog
mandoo – learning a foreign language in one week” Backgammon I charge
individuals $100 per hour for backgammon lessons over the Internet, or at
tournaments. If you are interested in an all-day or all-week lesson at your
home, contact me and we can work out the details. I will
happily craft a lecture if you have a particular area of backgammon you would
like addressed. In the past I have had good response to lectures given in “4-away, 3-away – the most peculiar
score” “Oddities and Curiosities” Coming to
Japan in October, 2002: “Contact Bearoffs” General
Gambling During
the time I belonged to the Midwest Chapter of the Mystery Writers of America
I was approached to speak on general gambling topics. I lectured to the local
chapter of MMWA, to Sisters in Crime, and at the annual conference Of Dark
and Stormy Nights 2001. “Confessions of a blackjack player I –
learning the ropes” “Confessions of a blackjack player II –
later adventures in “Cheating in gaming – dirty tricks on
both sides of the table” Blackjack I will
teach individuals the basic concepts of card counting for $100 per hour
