Ainslie's book has "Betting Systems That Work" on its front page. However, there is no hard data to support the view that any betting systems change the house edge. His favorite betting system is Oscar's Grind. While Oscar's Grind is less destructive to one's bankroll than a Martingale, it is still no more of a 'winning' system than any other. The book's age is especially obvious in the author's discussion of blackjack.
After all, blackjack has changed a lot in the past couple of decades. He has no sympathy for those who count cards at blackjack, comparing them to people who use slugs to steal from slot machines! |
