• “Are there any historically-accurate books about the MIT Blackjack team?”
• https://www.quora.com/Are-there-any-historically-accurate-books-about-the-MIT-Blackjack-team

There has NEVER — EVER — been an MIT Blackjack Team! That’s one of the long-lasting myths of blackjack, alongside card-counting.

The gambling community consists of the largest percentage of PATHOLOGICAL LIARS. The largest group of them is represented by the card counters. They lost lots of money and now ruminate in all kinds of gambling forums, telling of kinds of myths (how they
always win etc., but always are to be found in forums!)

A smaller group of the pathological liars is represented by the “founder of the MIT Team”. Dozens of crooks these days claim: “I am the founder of the MIT Team”!

My answer here is dedicated to the PHANTOM MIT BLACKJACK TEAM. My point is always this: Dozens of crooks have always claimed they were “the founders of the MIT Team that never existed”. Hence, the harsh term PATHOLOGICAL LIARS I always label a group
of gamblers with: card-counters and MIT teamsters. No offence, but that’s the truth as I see it...

I’ve stated numerous times: Gambling mathematics is the science of STREAKS. This Truth will hold forever. There are LOSING (L) streaks, and there are WINNING (W) streaks. The streaks are calculated by undeniable FORMULAS.

A blackjack session can be represented by a WL string that leads to betting systems. This is how I beat the game of blackjack consistently, over a statistically adequate period of time.

I ain’t a hypocrite like Norman Wattenberger, Don Schlesinger, Wizard of Odds/Vegas. I was a “traditional counter” and I still count cards. My fundamental problem with the “traditional card-counting” is this:

• The card-counter automatically raises his bet when the count is high (positive). The unfavorable situations, however, outnumber the positive cases. Therefore the counter loses more money than the basic strategy player. And that’s why there is
virtually no round when ALL players at the table win. Losing is not bad variance — it is the norm… the real norm (not NORMan Bates0!

The super count I apply is primarily for the blackjack insurance. Certain situations (Tens out in the round clearly below the norm… real norm)… favor also doubling down.

You might want to google on blackjack insurance saliu. You’ll learn there this blackjack super count, plus a truckload of useful information (bj odds, double-down hands, total and favorable pairs, etc.) Or, go directly to the page presenting the

Frankly, I’ve been shocked Google Groups lasted this long! Google is notorious for:

a) Offering services
b) Changing the offerings — always change for the worse
c) Cancelling/discontinuing the offerings.

So, Google Groups reached the second phase: change for the worse. Logically, the cancellation of the service is to be expected.

Google has offered and then discontinued over 25 services in their short life. No company has survived such miserable behavior. But, hey, think how Donald Caligula Trump succeeded in becoming Prez… and lasting 4 years!

What a beautiful number, revered by the initiated in the mastery of the digits! It is said that Almighty Number celebrates every day when the Cosmic Digital Clock shows the most special time in the Universe:

11:11:11

Keep in mind, Almighty Number works with two values only: 0 (Nothingness) and 1 (Eternity).

I always pause in wonder and look up to the sky symbolically when my digital watch shows that time of the day 11:11:11. It is the strongest proof — and reminder — that I am alive. Eternity is in Us.

Search-engine programming advanced with rapid paces. Now, they can interact with Netizens almost like human beings. There are AI chatbots that behave in the manner of human researchers. I tested two AI chatbots on ‘Ion Saliu’ and ‘Blackjack,
Gambling’.

There is a new useful feature for reading the Usenet posts in Google Groups. The vast majority of newsgroup members use GROUPS.GOOGLE.COM to post and read on the Internet pioneering service, Usenet.

One drawback of the Google service, very useful otherwise, is the default font. It is a proportional font (of variable-width, that is). However, initially Usenet was written and shown in a monospace font.

It is quite easy and simple to add this useful feature to two of your browsers: Chrome and Firefox. Just read this axiomatic thread:
