Uston

[Stephen Bauer]

Dear Mayor,

Been polishing my 1981 Uston APC. Took it for a spin on a cruise to nowhere and It runs so sweet. Its a new baby, the pain of which was quickly forgotten.
I admit that I listened to the pundits and chatted with the talking heads. I played full index hi-lo but there is nothing like 10^6$BJ. Can i get a witness? Index changes since 81 ? where have all my split 7's gone? I just want to give a shout out to gamemaster who programmed me and to Norms' program that kicks ass and takes names. Does this thing send when I push this butto

What an interesting post.

I don't really know how to answer you, because I can't quite make out the question. But, somehow, their is just enough wildness in your post for me to tell you are having fun, and that's what is important here (that, and making $$$).

Re: Uston (translation)

Dear Mayor,

I have gotten quite adept at the use of the Uston APC count. I learned at a website called "gamemaster"; there I learned the hi-lo count with many indexes. Norman Wattenbergs Casino Verite is a most excellent program which combined with hundreds of hours of practice can turn you into lean mean full indexes ace side count, betting and calculating machine.
I use the Uston APC with the Ace side count.In the 1983 version of Ken Ustons book Million dollar blackjack copyrighed 1981 the indexes do not contain the standard basic procedure commonly used currently concerning the splitting of 7's. If one of our readers has an updated simulation using Ustons APC Index with side count I would appreciate knowing new computer driven changes in the index.

1 2 6 or 8 Deck?

Your second translation was better, but the fog of Uston is still rather thick. And I do hope you are talking A side count, which is not really a side count, and not the confounded 7 side count that seems to be croping into every side count conversation on BJ boards across cybers ace. How much of an advantage to you IQ endowed brainwaves figure it gives you?

I just love to see people that go off about keeping track of Ace density saying is just isn't worth it turn around and try to shove side counting 7's right up yur poopster for better playing efficiency. BE and penetration is where it's at. Add a few dozen indices for fun and profit and call me in the morning.

Re: 1 2 6 or 8 Deck?

Dear Rob.

APC on 1,2 deck. Hi low on anything else. Actually you don't have to be very bright at all to count and play advantage BJ. You only need one trait, tenacity just sit down and learn what you have to memorize and practice till you can do it in your sleep aand then go and play. If any new computer sims have been done using Ustons APC and side Tally if you will, I dould be very interested in the results if they vary from the 1981 version of Million dollar blackjack.

Thanks
