Default Fortunes Formula Blackjack Strategy

Way back in 1956, Claude Shannon, a young scientist worked out
Quote:
the most successful gambling system of all time
.

This system has caused books to be written that go into great detail about gambling systems as applied to blackjack.

One of the most interesting things I have seen yet in blackjack is the MIT Blackjack Team.

I watched a documentary on the MIT Blackjack Team and was absolutely amazed at the extensive training that these young people went through and the final testing as to how they would do in a casino setting while playing blackjack was also tested.

Teams of players would go to Vegas and play, and the outcome of that play was astounding to say the least.

These young players had to learn a precise way to count the cards, and which group of cards fell into what category as to what the outcome of getting that particular card would be as fars as players chance to win and the dealers chance to win.

They also had to learn, when to stand, when to hit, and could not deviate from the rules they were being taught, for to do so would throw off their game for some hands to come.

Training was vigorous and nothing was allowed to interfere with their train of thought during play, so they were bombarded during training with about 10 times more activity around them than would actually happen at a casino.

If you get a chance to watch a documentary on the MIT Blackjack Team, do so, it is very enlightening.
