    He really knows his math

    Here is a quote from a website that teaches you how to play blackjack:

    "One quick way to calculate the probabilities of busting is this simple rule: If you always assume that the dealer’s down card is a 10, you’ll hardly ever go wrong. So if the dealer shows an 8 up, and you have 16, there’s a high probability that you’ll bust if you take a hit.

    That’s the thing with blackjack. To get really good at it, you simply must learn to do the math."

    Nothing like an illogical reason for doing the things "we" do............LOL But didn't they tell you Bodarc that EVERYTHING posted on the web MUST be true?

    So he claims you'll simply must learn the math, and then provides no actual math at all? =P
