Blackjack: Determining the ''Winning'' Ability of Your Betting System
by
Book Cover & Preview Text
If you’re a Blackjack player and
have read books on Blackjack, you’re in for some real surprises (about betting)
that weren’t in the books but are revealed in this booklet - Blackjack: Determining the “Winning” Ability of
Your Betting System.
The first surprise is that a
betting system can be mathematically analyzed and then compared to others
analyzed in the same manner
to
determine their potential worth. None of
the books on Blackjack that this author has read provides this capability.
Consequently, every author who wrote about his/her favorite betting system has
no theoretical idea how his/her system stacks up to another author’s system or
whether his/her system is really a good one or not. This booklet provides a sound mathematical
basis for the analysis of betting systems that this author believes has never
been provided before!
The second surprise (although
hardly a surprise as the casinos can attest to) is that no matter what betting
system one selects the probability of winning or losing over the long term in
Blackjack remains the same. Even if one
uses the truncated Martingale (I explain the truncated Martingale later), a
no-no in all the books, this betting method has the same long term
probabilities of win/lose as any other betting scheme – surprise? No!
The third surprise is that the
analysis turns out to be quite simple and can be performed by almost anyone
with pencil and paper but the use of a spreadsheet computer program can be very
helpful and is recommended (this author uses Quattro Pro for Windows.) The
analysis takes into account winning and losing streaks of Blackjack!
What there is in this booklet is
a new vision on Blackjack betting and incidentally on money management. This vision has never before been published
and to this author’s knowledge others do not know it exists for it is the
author who developed it!
Yet the excitement of actually
playing Blackjack is still there with both its awesome risks and potentially
satisfying rewards.

About the Book
Have you ever wondered if your betting strategy (together with your playing strategy) ever has a chance of winning at least over the short term? This booklet answers the betting question starting with flat betting, double-up/Martingale betting and an ideal betting strategy that saves win streak earnings! These betting strategies are based on a sound mathematical principal that applies to random events. The booklet continues with the analysis of betting strategies that increase cycle winnings and/or reduce overall risk; thus, providing some interesting and potentially profitable betting over the short term. It can be very satisfying, at least to the infrequent gambler, to be able to go home a winner more often than not. A table is provided that compares the results of analysis in the booklet so the reader can choose a betting system that suits him or her. The analysis is new. The author believes it has never been done before for it is he who developed it. It needed doing. Past and future gambling authors should find it very enlightening. This booklet is just the beginning. It is expected that others will take and run with it; thus, opening many new ways for game betting. Vern Poehls
About the Author
Vern Poehls was an engineer who’s career extended over thirty-seven years the pinnacle of which was his involvement in all of the unmanned (Surveyor) and manned (Apollo) landings on the moon as well at the first two unmanned (Viking) landings on the planet Mars. His involvement dealt with the engineering of the radar’s that guided the landing craft to the moon’s/planet’s surface.
Vern gravitated to gambling because of his interest in random events. In retirement he has read many of the prominent gambling books. As a result he noticed that there was a lot of analysis of playing systems but no analysis of betting systems. This discovery led to his analysis of betting systems. The outcome is the subject of his booklet.
