He constantly utilised computer technology to make his system the most effective of them all. Revere was truly an expert on Blackjack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHe was involved in the gambling world for twenty-eight years as a pit boss, dealer, owner, troubleshooter, and professional Blackjack player. He began dealing Blackjack at the age of 13 in the back of an Iowa barber shop and worked his way through the University of Nebraska, majoring in mathematics. This background made him the first author of a Blackjack book who actually had a lucrative business playing the game from both sides of the table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRevere was a man capable of presenting the insider's view of gambling, as opposed to others who had studied the business from the outside, then written books by applying credible theories. He was the voice of authority, speaking about what he knew best. In addition to his talent as a professional Blackjack player, he taught Blackjack for many years. He developed simple teaching methods which enable the player to easily understand the rules of the game.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFurthermore, after his simple explanation, he has included charts that help the player practise properly. Only a man with complete knowledge of the game and the best techniques for teaching the game could write the perfect book for a Blackjack player.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe strategies in this book were devised with high-speed computers by Julian H. Braun of IBM Corporation. He has taken Professor Thorp's original \"21\" program and substantially refined it to much more accurately analyse any strategy. He has also developed the first program to precisely analyse mathematical expectations for any given situation in the game of \"21.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47397966151916,"sku":"9781607967620","price":53.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/13695803482760.jpg?v=1773733376"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/lawrence-revere.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
