KJ, What do you think of Scarne's counting system?

Yeah well Jstat has also spent years trying to discredit Thorp.

That's exactly what he's still trying to do here.

It is true that Thorp didn't discover card counting. He only mathematically proved it with computers and exposed it.

Sorry for calling you Shirley, but surely (movie airplane reference) there were players using any number of counts back in the 50's and 60's. Even something as simple as A-5 would work on a good single deck game. Just imagine these players when Thorp spilled the beans. Screaming WTF!
