However, It Turned Out to Work Just as Well With Conventional Blackjack! As a Result, Anyone With $40 Can Set Up a $1,000 an Hour Income Playing Blackjack. “I struggled for years to beat the online blackjack games. Now, I pull in $1,000 an Hour as easily as opening my email. Formula 57 is the perfect system for modern blackjack!Clint B. – Aurora, Colorado From: Martin J Silverthorne Is there really a formula that defeats blackjack? When I first heard of Formula 57 being used to win at blackjack it seemed pretty far- fetched. After all, blackjack is a complicated game. Even learning to play the game is complex. The idea of a formula that would beat the game just didn’t seem possible.That was my attitude five months ago. Since then I have experienced the power of using Formula 57 to play blackjack and I am a believer! We just finished a round of tests of this amazing new system and discovered that it wins over 97% of all blackjack sessions! In fact, the Formula is so powerful that anyone can turn $40 into a $5,000 a day income without fail! But, I am getting ahead of myself. Let Me Tell You How It All Began – Originally, Formula 57 Was Developed to Beat Online Blackjack! Formula 57 Blackjack © 2018 Martin J Silverthorne All Rights Reserved 4 A group of techies developed Formula 57 to beat online blackjack. I got the full story from Russ and Alan, two people on the team who cracked the code. Alan explained. “Two years ago I got interested in playing blackjack online. My thinking was that I could develop a system that would defeat the computer algorithms used to power the games.”“I started out by learning everything I could about the game and about systems that had been developed to win at blackjack.”I interjected. “Did you take a look at any of our systems? Several of them are pretty solid performers.“I did and I was influenced by your systems and your philosophy. However, I wanted to develop a system that would keep the bets small and still be able to win.”Intrigued, I responded, “That’s my goal as well. However, sometimes you just have to bet larger in order overcome losing streaks.“That’s true to a point. However, I developed a different way of doing it . “Formula 57 is a wonderful way to win at blackjack. “I play blackjack on weekends only and easily net from $6,000 to $8,000 as a $25 bettor.Eric P. – Reno, Nevada [Note: Eric plays in land-based casinos.] Small Bets With Leverage Are the Key to Formula 57’s Outstanding Win Rate. I continued talking to Russ and Alan about how they developed Formula 57. Russ jumped in. “We set up a computer program to test thousands of betting variations. We wanted to see how well we could do by reducing the size of our bets and using different strategies to beat the game.”He showed me five thick books of research. “That’s what came before Formula 57.”At this point I still hadn’t seen the formula, and I started thinking about the complexity of some of the card counting systems. My first thought was that I hoped that the formula wasn’t some system that only a PhD in math or computer science could use. I raised my concerns and Alan answered. “Don’t let the amount of research scare you. We went through the 'complex' in order to develop the 'simple.'“Formula 57 is very easy to use. It doesn’t require making any calculations while you play.”Russ spoke up. “I taught my ten year old niece to play and she mastered the system in one day.”“Let’s see if I’ve got it so far. Formula 57 uses small bets and is easy to use. What else can you tell me?” Formula 57 Blackjack © 2018 Martin J Silverthorne All Rights Reserved 5 Formula 57 Uses “Bet Ranging” to Control the Size of Bets Russ explained that the formula uses “Bet Ranging” to keep bets small.“While other systems used a fixed betting series with larger and larger bets, we don’t. We use small groups of bets with special tasks.”Alan added enthusiastically, “We have a 5-group and a 7-group that select bets depending on the range.”Russ nodded. “And then we use a 5-7 ratio as our guide when we are maximizing our profits.I shook my head. “I am not following you. Maybe you’d better show me. I Win $576 in My First Fifteen Minutes. They say a picture is worth a thousand words and it certainly helped me understand Formula 57. Formula 57 divides blackjack into bet ranges. Then it applies a betting formula based on the 5-7 principles to determine the bets. Still not clear? It may be one of those systems that are easier to use than it is to talk about. Once they showed me how to make the bets and determine the betting range, I caught on very quickly. After playing in practice mode for about ten minutes I was ready to test the formula against real play. I logged on an online casino where I have an account. I activated their blackjack game and began playing blackjack using the Formula. I had been playing about fifteen minutes when I decided to take a break. At this point I had won $576 making $10 bets. I asked them, “I seem to be winning really fast. Is this about normal?”Alan smiled. “You are right on target. Play for an hour at this level and you’ll make $2,000 or more. Formula 57 Blackjack Beats Every Version of Blackjack Offered Today. No Exceptions! We have used this strategy for thousands of real world blackjack sessions. We have beaten every version of the game dealt today. Formula 57 Blackjack © 2018 Martin J Silverthorne All Rights Reserved 6 This strategy easily beats hand dealt single and two-deck games. It handily overcomes all six and eight deck games. It easily wins against online blackjack games. It even beats European blackjack with its devious no-hole card rule! What’s more, Formula 57 Blackjack not only soundly beats all versions of blackjack, it does it using the smallest bets possible. My Next Move Was to Test the System In Land-Based Play After the meeting I had made up my mind to test this system in land-based play. Russ and Alan were strictly online players and hadn’t tried the formula in a land-based game.I am still fairly traditional and I like to play in real casinos. I decided to try the system at the Golden Nuggets’ eight-deck game. This is considered a hard game to beat and I thought it would be a good test for Formula 57.I bought in for $1,000 and started making $25 bets. I took a break 55 minutes after I started with a win of $1,368. I walked back to the Carson Street Café and had a cup of coffee. After my break I decided to see just how good this formula was. I bought in for $2,000 and made $50 bets. In less than twenty minutes I had won another $1,000. I moved up to making $75 bet and next $100 bets. I continued to play, moving up my bet size as I won more and more.

  • Optimal Betting in Casino Blackjack III: Table-Hopping
    1 Optimal Betting in Casino Blackjack III: Table-Hopping N. RICHARD WERTHAMER New York, USA Abstract The casino blackjack technique usually called back-counting, or wonging, consists of beginning play (“entry”) at a table only after an indicator of favourability exceeds a certain threshold. The back-counter is also advised to leave the table at a threshold of unfavourability, most usually after entry (here termed “exit”) but sometimes also before entry (here termed “departure”). I have analysed these thresholds previously and obtained optimal entry and exit criteria based on maximising the total cash value of the table between successive shuffles, recognizing that only some of its rounds are actually played. Here I extend and complete that investigation to include the value from a second, freshly-shuffled table, played after either departure or exit, until the first table is reshuffled; this extension is here termed “table-hopping”. An optimal departure point arises in table-hopping that does not appear when considering only a single table. Optimal table-hopping offers an important incremental advantage to its practitioner, here quantified for several representative game conditions, sufficient to make attractive several well-camouflaged betting methods. Introduction A blackjack player welcomes any technique by which he can estimate his odds on the next hand, each time he places his bet. If the estimation is unfavourable, he then bets only a minimum amount; if favourable, he bets more than the minimum, depending on the degree of favourability. Such a technique, called “card-counting”, was first developed by Thorp (1962) and subsequently refined by others. In general, card counting involves observing every card as it is dealt.

  • A History of the International Conference on Gambling and Risk-Taking
    A History of the International Conference on Gambling and Risk-Taking William R. Eadington, Ph.D. David G. Schwartz, Ph.D. “The study of gambling is fascinating, perhaps because it is so easy to relate it to parallels in areas of our everyday lives. But the surface has only been scratched; many questions remain to be satisfactorily answered.” --Preface to Gambling and Society (1976), William R. Eadington, editor The above statement is a sound summary of why those who study gambling do what they do: gambling raises vital questions, many of which still lack definitive answers.And yet, the study of gambling is no longer the terra incognita it once was. The evolution of the International Conferences on Gambling and Risk-Taking is both a sign of the changes in the study of gambling over the past forty years and one of the driving forces behind that change. Started in 1974 as the National Conference on Gambling and Risk-Taking, the conference began as a gathering of academics in a variety of disciplines from around the United States who were interested in the impact of gambling from several points of view, ranging from analyses of mathematical questions about gambling, to the fundamentals of pathological gambling, to understanding business dimensions of gaming enterprises, to broader inquiries into the impact of gambling on society. The First Conference was held at the Sahara Casino in Las Vegas in June of that year in conjunction with the annual meeting of the Western Economics Association.1 This wasn’t the first mainstream academic discussion of gambling (gambling has been the subject of academic study since at least the 16th-century career of Giralamo Cardano), but it was the first dedicated gathering that concentrated specifically on the topic.And, while those who studied gambling in the early 1970s and before were often scoffed at by academics with more traditional research foci, they were greeted with outright hostility by some in the gaming industry.

They live in Las Vegas, but occasionally travel to Reno and Stateline and find profitable opportunities there. I worked with them to devise the strategies they are using. Presenting those strategies is the purpose of this publication. The material in this publication has had more than a year of testing in the casinos of Ne- vada. Some of this material has previously been pub- lished. Volume 6 of Stanford Wong’s Blackjack Newslet- ters, published in 1984, presents strategies for playing video poker. Those strategies were devised with accu- racy in mind. Speed also is important. You can make more money per hour with an approximate strategy if it allows you to play enough more hands per hour.

  • The Ultimate Counting Method
    THE ULTIMATE COUNTING METHOD The total efficacy of a Blackjack count depends on its correlation with (1) the true advantage or disadvantage of the remaining cards in the deck(s) for betting purposes and (2) the playing efficiency that it provides. Unfortunately, a count that does (1) well does not do (2) as well, and vice versa.. I had started out with the simple HI-LO count (23456+1, TJQKA-1) but wanted to look for something better. Counts are described by how many “levels” they comprise. A count that gives all cards either a 0, 1, or -1 value is a “level 1" count, while one that gives 0, 1, -1, 2, or - 2 values to cards is a “level 2" count, and so on. The higher the level, the greater the betting accuracy but the more difficult the counting effort becomes. Examining the count analyses for both betting and play efficiency in The Theory of Blackjack by Peter Griffin I saw that Stanford Wong’s moderately difficult “Halves” count has a betting accuracy correlation of 0.99. In whole numbers Halves counts aces and ten-cards as -2; 9 as -1; 2 and 7 as +1; 3, 4, and 6 as +2, and 5 as +5. It is more convenient, however, to divide all these numbers by two when counting, hence the name “Halves.” HI-LO’s betting correlation is 0.89 according to Griffin, so Halves is a somewhat better system for betting. Looking at the playing efficiency of Halves, which is 0.58 according to Wong, it isn’t quite as good as the HI-LO count (0.59 according to Griffin).

  • Experiments in Dice Control Robert H
    Pair-a-Dice Lost: Experiments in Dice Control Robert H. Scott III Donald R. Smith “We may throw the dice, but the Lord determines how they fall” (Bible.com). This paper presents our findings from experiments designed to test whether we could use a custom-made dice throwing machine applying common dice control methods to produce dice rolls that differ from random. In earlier research we used a popular method of dice control to calculate how much “control” a shooter needs to overcome the casino’s advantage (Smith and Scott, 2018). We found that a shooter only needs an 8.031% level of control (0% is random and 100% is perfect horizontal-axis control of both dice) to erase the casino’s advantage of 1.41% for a standard pass line bet.1 This finding supports a common claim among dice controllers that you do not need to throw the dice perfectly every time to win, simply throwing the dice with a little more control than a random throw is enough. The natural follow-up question is: Can a human being achieve the desired level of control under normal casino conditions? This question has not been answered elsewhere. Even documented evidence of extremely long craps hands is not as intuitively convincing as it may appear. We decided to run experiments to see if a dice throwing machine that generally mimics the biomechanical properties of expert craps players (e.g., back spin, on-axis throw, repeatable throwing angle etc.) could achieve at least a break-even level of control. Using our machine (named “Lucky Lil”) on a 6’ foot craps table we filmed dice throws using a Phantom® VEO4K 990s high-speed digital camera that captured video in 4K resolution.

  • Are Casinos Cheating?
    \\jciprod01\productn\H\HLS\10-1\HLS102.txt unknown Seq: 1 21-JAN-19 9:04 Casino Countermeasures: Are Casinos Cheating? Ashford Kneitel1 Abstract Since Nevada legalized gambling in 1931, casinos have proliferated into the vast majority of states. In 2015, commercial casinos earned over $40 billion. This is quite an impressive growth for an activity that was once relegated to the backrooms of saloons. Indeed, American casino companies are even expanding into other countries. Casino games have a predetermined set of rules that all players—and the casino itself—must abide by. Many jurisdictions have particularized statutes that allow for the prosecution of players that cheat at these games. Indeed, players have long been prosecuted for marking cards and sliding dice. And casino employees have long been prosecuted for cheating their employers using similar methods. But what happens when casinos cheat their players? To be sure, casinos are unlikely to engage in tradi- tional methods of cheating for fear of losing their licenses. Instead, this cheating takes the form of perfectly suitable—at least in the casinos’ eyes—game protection counter- measures. This Article argues that some of these countermeasures are analogous to traditional forms of cheating and should be treated as such by regulators and courts. In addition, many countermeasures are the product of a bygone era—and serve only to slow down games and reduce state and local tax revenues. Part II discusses the various ways that cheating occurs in casino games. These methods include traditional cheating techniques used by players and casino employees. An emphasis will be placed on how courts have adjudicated such matters.
