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.
