Subject: methodology
The 'Basic System' described in Beat The Dealer is the table of correct
decisions given any blackjack hand - then you can add to that one of a couple
of counting systems described. Most involve keeping a running 'score' of the
balance of low cards to high cards and aces - even with the old-fashioned
single deck game, the potential advantage to the player is minimal (around 1%)
assuming perfect play. In order to make a profit one must vary stakes wildly
and this is how casinos can identify the 'counters'. I've had much experience
with this.
As in my original post, do not confuse this with the real methodology that
Derren is using for his effects in the casino.

an easyier method to win at black jack the loci
is card counting .
you only have to memorize the tables ( of numbers) and
not 52 cards in a different order each time .
i saw a programme about this in 1988or so when i was
ill from school one day .
they said a book called "beat the dealer " taught the
method cant remember who wrote ,it was 14 years ago
