In Twenty-First Century Blackjack, Walter Thomason offers a practical alternative to those who don't want to learn how to count cards: a remarkable betting system that is easy to learn, simple to apply, impervious to casino harassment, and potentially more profitable than flat or so-called “inspired” betting. As evidence, he offers a detailed analysis of thousands of hands of manually dealt play, and hundreds of thousands of computer simulated hands. Using a unique approach, he compares the win/loss results of three different types of players (a card counter, a flat bettor, and a progressive bettor) who all played the same hands against the same dealer at the same time. Thomason even conducts live casino “field tests,” joined by several gaming experts who are pre-disposed to be skeptical of his system.
