Blackjack High-Low Card Count Shattered
Proof that the high-low or hi-lo count might be a fraud with the admission of an error by the developer of this card counting strategy, Julian Braun. Braun's words are read and shown in the video from his 1980 book "How to Play Winning Blackjack". Braun's flawed analysis of high-low was published in Edward O. Thorp's 1966 revision of "Beat The Dealer". Casinos needed to fool the masses with a half-baked sceme and a credible stooge (Braun) who worked for the IBM Corporation then.
The rest of the video shows an upgrade of Thorp's Ten Count which appeared in the original book in 1962. The original count worked! JSTAT won with the upgrade and was barred from Nevada casinos in the 90's. Little did the casinos know that the barring would result in the spreading of the upgraded Thorp ten count (JSTAT Count) for free on the internet and YouTube. Enjoy the video!!!
