The Scientists

E. Andrew Boyd

Chapter Chapter 9 in The Future of Pricing, 2007, pp 117-133 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Rumor is that Las Vegas won’t have them anymore. As a group, they don’t gamble enough. When they do gamble, they don’t lose enough money. When they play blackjack, one of the few games in which a player can actually turn the odds against the house, pit bosses watch warily for any of the telltale signs that they’re mercilessly taking advantage of an irregular run of cards.
