With aspirations of becoming a college professor, he traveled the usual roads of academia, earning bachelor's and master's degrees in religious education and Biblical history.<br /> His journey took a sudden detour in 1984. While working on his doctorate at the University of Oregon, he learned how to count cards and started playing blackjack on weekends. His studies began to pale in comparison to the exciting world of gambling. And one day, after a futile effort to find a parking spot on the crowded campus, he bagged his plans to teach church history, quit school -- and headed to Las Vegas.<br /> Since then, Blackwood has lived what many would consider the American dream, earning big bucks while working only part-time, winning consistently at blackjack tables all over the world. More recently, he has jumped on the Texas Hold'em bandwagon, with several poker tournament wins under his belt.<br /> His unusual life experiences inspired Blackwood to write a novel, <i>The Counter</i> (Wooden Pagoda Press)<i>.</i> In addition, he is the author of <i>Play Blackjack Like the Pros</i> (HarperCollins), the most comprehensive guide to becoming a winning blackjack player. He has also written for magazines, including <i>Casino Player, Midwest Gaming and Travel, Blackjack Insider, </i> and <i>Gambling.com.</i> His TV appearances include the <i>World Series of Blackjack</i> (semifinalist 2005) and the <i>Ultimate Blackjack Tour</i> (finalist 2006).
