Scarne was an Italian wasn't he? The casinos were owned by the mob and Black Jack made the mob money. Scarne worked for casios didn't he? Card counting is simple math and Scarne was not short of math was he? He could have tested it but Scarne said counting did not work at the time.
I wonder why. 
If there is a single truth about Magic, it is that nothing on earth so efficiently evades it.

Interestingly there's no record of Scarne ever being employed by or for any casino. He did do consulting work but it was for the, uhm, "management" at various clubs.

Didn't Scarne say he never ever gambled?

Only an idiot would play craps w/o the "dice must hit the wall" rule.
That's in Scarne. It's understandable why some people might not want other people to study Mr S. |

Although it is hard to sympathize with anybody stupid enough to get into a "private" crap game. BTW, if Scarne really thought he just "happened" to draw four aces from that deck under those circumstances, he deserved what he got. |

Some say nothing is better than taking down another hustler. They say some only do this very thing as a sport of sorts. Would you say this is true? Some hustlers only watching and waiting to hit other hustlers? Do they really carry around costume kits, and move every week to a new spot? Just curious.
...think not that all wisdom is in your school. You may have studied other paths,but, it is important to remember that no matter who you are or where you come from, there is always more to learn.
