In addition to a card counting applet perfect for warming-up on the road, John has added "BJ Clock," his custom program designed especially for his collaboration on the optimal departure

Blackjack Risk Manager 2002 (BJRM) is a easy-to-use "utility" program that automatically and instantly performs several complicated blackjack risk-related statistical calculations, providing you with the facts you need to manage your total blackjack risk. BJRM 2002 can be used to provide answers to many very important blackjack questions, such as:

• What is the Risk-of-Ruin of my trip/session, based on my trip and/or total playing bank?
  
• What is my probability of being ahead by, say, $2000, sometime during my next 16 hours of play?
  
• Exactly how much bank do I need if I am willing to tolerate a 10% risk-of-ruin? What if I change that to 5%?
  
• What is the "$$ hourly win rate" that a specified game will yield?
  
• How would things change if I got in more "hands per hour"?
  
• What if I played two hands per round, instead of one?
  
• Is it "worth it" to learn a new, more powerful but more complicated counting system?
  
• I played 6 hours last weekend, and lost $5,000. How rare of an event was that?
  
• I seem to experience very wild financial "swings" as my blackjack play mounts up. Is that normal?
  
• I do a lot of table-hopping. How many hands per hour am I actually playing?[/list]
  Most questions can be answered with very little text entry, simply by selecting and mouse-clicking on the program's built-in choices.
  
  
  
  BJRM 2002 has two great new handy features, both found in the Systems 101 section of the program. The first of these is a "practice card counting" applet, which deals cards out for you to count in order to test your skills. The second is called BJClock, and it will help you calculate your estimated "hands-per-clock-hour" statistic - vital for accurate predictions of expected win rate, and to evaluate the effectiveness of your play-all and back-counting for shoe games. You will be able to adjust for numbers of players at table, time spent walking between tables (based on various shoe exit-strategies), time spent on buy-in, etc.
  
  
  
  According to Don Schelsinger, author of Blackjack Attack: Playing the Pros' Way, "I'll ask you to trust me on this one. Every blackjack player, on every level, should own this magnificent piece of software. It contains virtually every feature, has built in every important formula you will ever need to play blackjack as perfectly as it can be played. And, it does so in a user-friendly environment."
  
  
  
  BJRM 2002 is electronically delivered via the Internet. There are no shipping charges. You will recieve an email with download instructions within 24 hours of your purchase (up to 48 hours on weekends and holidays), or often the same day during business hours.
  
  
  
  If you wish to have us burn and ship a CD to you, we will add $9.95 shipping and handling to the final price. Please add this request to the comments section of the check-out form, or call us at (702) 798-7RGE.
  
  
  
  Get the most out of BJRM 2002 with Statistical Blackjack Analyzer:
  
  
  
  • If you already have SBA installed (or purchase it at a later date), BJRM automatically adds more pre-run sims to the One Second Simulator.
    
  • You can add even more penetration levels, rule-sets and customized indexes by creating your own sims in SBA and importing the results into the BJRM One Second Simulator[/list]
    SPECIAL: Buy Statistical Blackjack Analyzer with BJRM 2002 and receive 10% off SBA! Discount will be reflected on your final invoice that we email you.

It's great to hear that JA and Karel were able to work out a plan that puts BJRM back on the market. I have BJRM2000 and it is a great tool to help you plan your next attack on the casinos (especially when used in conjunction with the info you can get from Trackjack).

As an aside, I think it is a real testament to JA's loyalty and integrity that he voluntarily took BJRM off the market after Karel expressed concerns regarding BJRM's use of sims generated by SBA. I think most legal eagles agreed that there was no proprietory infringement but JA respected his fellow Master's concerns.

Two great products, SBA and BJRM, that deserve your serious consideration.

John,
I just purchased BJRM 2000 from Blackjack Review Network one week ago. Since this purchase just took place, it would be nice to get a free upgrade.
Thanks,
Joseph

Viktor:

Very interested in the offer...

What are the system requirements to efficiently run both software packages?

Currently running with a Celeron 600MHz and 64MB memory, perhaps it's finally time to upgrade my memory capacity.

Thanks,
Wildcard

I have questions, and I'm sure others are wondering as well:

What about current owners of BJRM2000?

Is there (or will there be) an "upgrade" version available?

Is there any reason to upgrade?

[Double21]

It can't be any better than the last edition--I'll believe a tie!

Not only is the software great and mandatory for all serious players, John does a terrific job supporting it. I can personally attest to that.

> What about current owners of BJRM2000?

I'm thinking about charging $20 for an upgrade, and then never charging for one again (i.e. they would be free from now on.) Difficulty is, how to verify previous owners, and how to collect the $20. I'm not inclined to split that small amount 50/50 with wholesalers, as I do for the full-price product, so folks would have to get it direct from me via sending an email to [email protected], and would have to pay by check or MO, or by Credit Card via the PayPal site (I would supply a URL to do this). They could then get the upgrade via Web Download, or CD for a handling and mailing fee.

Would folks go for that? I don't know. Still thinking about it.

> Is there any reason to upgrade?

Perhaps two. 1. the new features: The simple little practice card counting applet, and BJCLock.
2. It is the only version that I will be creating future OSS sim sets for.

Comments would be welcome.

Your computer power is more than sufficient for SBA. I would be surprised if it was not sufficient for BJRM.

Nevertheless, it is a good idea to upgrade the 64MB regardless of SBA and BJRM. It is usually the amount of RAM, which is the "narrow neck" of computer speed for most users. It is often misleading from sellers to sell computers with too little RAM. Maybe it is even partially intentional, since users are often prompted to purchase "faster new computer", as new operating systems and software appear. If users had sufficient RAM from the very beginning, they may not upgrade that often.

For example, it is not good to have less than 256MB of RAM for Win2000 or WinXP. (I would recommend 384.)

If it can run SBA, I'm sure it can run BJRM.

Actually, it was time a long time ago. :-)

You need at least 128 MB for Windows 98, 2nd ed, and 256 for Windows 2000 or XP. More is better.

You can tell if your memory is inadequate if your computer seems to be constantly accessing the hard drive (indicating frequent use of "virtual memory").

You can also tell if your memory is inadequate if your are always forgetting things.

Sorry. :-)

Fortunately, memory is dirt cheap these days. You can get 128 MB for around $25 or so if you shop around. Installing it is a matter of simply popping the cover on your computer and inserting it into an empty slot. When you reboot, the computer will automatically detect the new memory.

Thanks for the advice and your time to respond. I had been planning to increase my RAM to 256MB, have just been reluctant to unplug everything and take the box to the local CompUSA. RAM being so cheap, without the minor hassle of losing the computer for a couple of days, it's probably the best thing to do.
