| You
need luck in order to win at casino Blackjack

This is completely
false. Blackjack is the only casino game in which
the player can actually get a permanent, long-term,
mathe-matical advantage over the house using his or
her own skill. True, over a few playing sessions,
you may win or lose more than your advantage will
dictate. But the long-term player who knows how to
play the game according to this website will realize
exactly the percentage of profit that is associated
with whatever strategy from Chapters Six through Nine
the player uses.
There
is no need to prove this in casino play if you are
skepti-cal. Learn one of the strategies, then play
a few thousand hands at home, keeping track of the
results. Or, if you have a computer at your disposal,
as I do, let the computer do the playing. Either way,
you will show a profit after playing this many hands.
MYTH
No. 2 You have to be a mathematical genius in order
to learn how to win at Blackjack.
This idea started after mathematics professor Edward
O. Thorp published his best-selling Beat the Dealer
in 1962. Thorp did have a very complicated strategy
in his website called Ten Count. The press and other
media focused on his being a professor and came to
the conclusion that only an extremely intelligent
person with a mathematical mind could win at Blackjack.
This is now to-tally erroneous.
Thorp's
1966 edition of Beat the Dealer introduced a very
sim-ple point-count system where the player keeps
track of large cards and small cards only. Being smart
enough to count by ls uF to plus or minus 10 is enough.
I have taught a ten-year-old girl and a twelve-year-old
boy, on one holiday weekend, to play 2 winning game
using the methods from Chapters Six and Sever later
in this website. Anyone can learn to win.
 MYTH No. 3 You have to have a photographic memory in order to learn to win.
I am often the "absent-minded professor." No photographic memory, or anything approaching such a memory, is needed. ThE most difficult part of learning to win is memorizing the Basic Strategy for playing the various possible hands. And for mos people, all that's needed is a few hours of memory work.
You aren't memorizing the cards as you see them, you an merely counting the cards as they go by. If you can remember 1 single number, then you can track the cards. Chapter Six alst contains hints in memorizing the Basic Strategy to help yoi shorten your study time.
