Description of Beat the Dealer |
Ever since the time of Cardano, mathematicians have been delving into the theory of games of chance, but rarely with the stunning success achieved by Edward O. Thorp, Professor of Mathematics at the University of California at Irvine. Professor Thorp has devised a gambling system that really works, as proved by the winnings of the author himself, and by the thousands who have used this system. The essentials, consolidated in simple charts, can be understood and memorised by the average player.
Professor Thorp first published this strategy in 1962. The system proved so successful that the Las Vegas casinos were forced to change their rules. Now the new revised point count system shows how the player can win in spite of present or future rule changes in Las Vegas, Atlantic City and Puerto Rico; how to win in spite of cheating by casinos. The cards in the book can be used in actual casino play.
