Four years ago I started playing videopoker. As a lark I started to analyze hands and came up with my crib notes which I am sure help to get a winning hand. But unfortunately the machine has the last say. I studied the most common videopoker games but not all. My family felt I should include these in a book and so I have. I tried to put my knowledge on paper so it could be easily understood but I am not the best of writers. This book includes the best strategies for playing different poker hands for twenty -four video poker games.

What the Author says about his book... 1. Play Blackjack for hours now with this newly developed procedural way of playing, without a card counting system, and without stopping due to hands lost. 2. Play in an apparently unreasonable betting pattern, that even pit bosses do not follow, calling the bets "erratically placed..." but yet, and un-knowing to them, a simple mathematically supported procedural plan of a bet pattern does exist, by the player, and is being placed, played and won 3. Learn the basic strategy moves the casinos want you to know...and you will be at an even more disadvantaged position in the modified blackjack games they offer. Then learn, with this new developed gambling procedure, the real basic strategies needed on these new table games of blackjack that the casinos actually offer, that have on them varied player disadvantageous rules and modifications, and make it all to your betting advantage. 4. Learn some simple things of what not to do, and what to look out for in casinos. A simple distraction for instance that can cost you a big hand...and there are a lot of them designed into the casino that have nothing to do with the game of blackjack but that can be recognized by a player, and thus easily ignored. 5. This new playing procedure will show the serious blackjack player simple "stealth" moves that will confound the "Pit Critters" and the casinos, and keep the winnings coming in. 6. Learn in this new procedural way of playing that everything (hit or stand?) and every call you choose to make in the playing of blackjack counts. The casinos know that every call counts... as they watch. And it all ads up and "counts" up to those really big player's lost wagers. So find out in these pages those same things, and to the player's advantage, what it is that counts. 7. This book will teach you how to keep some very simple and very easy records of play. "Records" did you say? Yes, a simple "type" record. It is the one main reason all blackjack players get lost. They do not keep records or even know won or lost playing amounts - imagine that. The casinos know. 8. This new playing procedure will show you clearly the immense developed odds that are in the player's favor when he simply plays them correctly. 9. This newly developed procedural way of playing blackjack, no matter how the blackjack game is currently modified and offered by the casinos, clearly puts the house advantage way below the player's advantage. 10. In whole, the game of blackjack, and the way it should be played, is rejuvenated in this book to match the way casinos now offer the play of the game. (One of those ways is being a deterrent to card counting.) And for the betting gamblers to once again be able to win blackjack... and all without those card-counting systems which mostly fail the player. 11. This book exposes the enigmas in the game of blackjack along with how to play it for perpetual winnings... enjoy.

This manual is for you if you play the four-card-pass-game using the following rules: *You play with a single deck. *You play with 4 players in two partnerships. *Your point counters are Ace, King, and 10, and each is worth 1 point (or 10). *Your minimum opening bid is 25 (or 250). *The auction winner (declarer) chooses the trump suit. *Declarer's partner passes 4 cards to declarer who looks at the cards before passing 4 back. Then meld is put down. *You use basic meld scoring. No bonus for a third leg of a marriage or pinochle. No super bonus for a double trump marriage. This manual shows you how to determine the best bidding range for your hand. It is based on the mathematical probability that your partner will have the card(s) you need to boost your meld. You can use this bidding system even if your partner doesn't. Also introduced are simple but optional bidding conventions. These bids allow you to describe features of your hand to your partner. The Table of Contents identifies the strategic turning points that occur throughout the game. The text suggests ways to take advantage of the opportunities available to you at each point.
