" In the mid-1990s, a team of American science students took on the might of the Las Vegas casinos, and came home with millions of dollars. Hardworking engineering students during the week, they became high-rolling gamblers by the weekend and proved that, in one game at least, the house doesn't always win.
The game was blackjack, and the students were from the world-renowned Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Their audacious winnings marked the climax of an arms race between casino and player that began 40 years earlier with maths professor Edward Thorp. He realised that the one feature of blackjack that made it different from other casino games also made it possible to beat.
In most gambling games - roulette, dice, slot machines, the lottery - events in the past do not determine the future. The odds are the same on every roll of the dice or spin of the wheel.

here is my secret with aces.. ok.. if you're givin 10 cards a -1.. than every ace -2.. it will set you up with the best odds.. allthough.. not as accurate.. but it is better. so when your deck does reach the (+) you should expect more aces as well as 10 cards.. *black jack..

Cool, I'll check that book out. Hopefully that will help me get a little better. I've been on a downward roller coaster ride lately and I want to go back up, lol

I don't know how many people here play blackjack seriously. I personally am a huge Blackjack player inthe casino. Sorry to say this, but I'm actually better at blackjack than poker. Anyway, here's my question.
Does anyone know how to count cards with a better strat than the basic hi/lo count. I've mastered the hi/lo count but there are to many gaps for error in it that I feel I could do better if I could have a better method for ace counting.
Good luck at the table's!
