If I asked you. " Do you know what the odds are of winning the
European Lottery?" You probably would not even be able to hazard a
guess. It is in fact 116,541,800 to 1. There is a way to reduce
these odds. If I told you that there are 30 main ball numbers from
which the 5 main numbers have come out and scored 60 times for the
winning jackpots in 525 draws. Which is about once every 8 to 9
draws. The odds from these 30 numbers is142,506 to 1. So picking 5
main numbers out of 30 plus covering all the star balls over six
lines for a total odds of 855,036 to 1. Which would with 5 winning
main numbers guarantee you a minimum of 2 lines with five numbers
in each line, with each line having at least one Star Ball each.
Your winnings might likely be a total of between 0.4 million and 3
million. Worst still, you could even hit the jackpot.
Why is there a twelve on the cover of this blackjack book
instead of the usual twenty-one? No blackjack author in their right
mind would put a hand of twelve on the cover. Glen Wiggy did--he is
full of surprises like that. Part how-to manual, part memoir, 1536
Free Waters and Other Blackjack Endeavors--Finding Profit and Humor
in Card-Counting chronicles Wiggy's amusing experiences while
playing blackjack during more than eight hundred casino visits from
January 2001 until June 2008. It also introduces blackjack
card-counting in a fun and easy-to-learn format.
In addition to the everyday casino patrons, starving puppies,
angry pit bosses, French doughnuts, talking sea gulls, and 1536
bottled waters make unforgettable appearances in these entertaining
stories tailored for casual blackjack gamblers. For players
pursuing the game for serious profit, Wiggy also presents practical
tips on
- Aspects of blackjack basic strategy- Fundamentals of
card-counting- Techniques for managing money- Dangers of greedy
gambling behavior
Unlike most blackjack strategy guides, 1536 Free Waters and
Other Blackjack Endeavors won't teach you how to "kill" the dealer
or make a living playing the game. Instead, you'll learn basic
strategy and introductory card-counting skills that give you enough
confidence to approach the table with a positive attitude and
reasonable expectation of winning. Plus, you'll learn what to
expect from the cards and the wonderfully strange people and places
you may encounter. Enjoy the ride.
"Undoubtedly, the most enjoyable blackjack book I've read in my
twenty years as the editor of a gambling publishing company. It had
me laughing out loud."--Deke Castleman, editor for Huntington
Press
