COUNTING HISTORY

There aren’t sure source about who invented the blackjack’s counting system, but what we know is that the first blackjack’s scientific work was published by Edward O. Thorp, during the ‘50s. Thorp showed – using computers – that the game of blackjack isn’t a simple game of chance, and that the player can obtain edge against the bank. Thorp went to Las Vegas and made a lot of money playing blackjack thanks to the counting system. In 1962 published the best seller “Beat The Dealer”, a book that today is still a must for the blackjack players. Into “Beat The Dealer” Thorp tell his gambling’s adventure, and also how to count card and apply this technique to make money. Our software Countblackjack is inspired to this technique – there are many way to count card, we has chosen the best in efficacy and simplicity – and is a fundamental instrument to play, win, and make money at Blackjack.
