Java Beograd: Aha, pričaj mi malo o tome.
Poker, kao i sve druge kockarske kartaroške igre (na primer ajnc) skoro da isključuje svako znanje i kombinovanje, i svodi se na puku sreću i igru živaca.
Nemas pojma da ima ljudi koji prate karte u ajncu, i da im zabranjuju ulaz u kockarnice. Cista kombinatorika. O tome je napisao knjigu jedan profesor univerziteta. Ljudi ne pricajte napamet. Izgleda da nemate pojma ko je Ed Thorp. Pricate o necemu, a nemate pojma.
Edward Oakley Thorp (born August 14, 1932, Chicago) is an American mathematics professor, author, hedge fund manager, and blackjack player. He was a pioneer in modern applications of probability theory, including the harnessing of very small correlations for reliable financial gain.
He was the author of Beat the Dealer, the first book to mathematically prove,[citation needed] in 1962, that the house advantage in blackjack could be overcome by card counting. He also developed and applied effective hedge fund techniques in the financial markets, and collaborated with Claude Shannon in creating the first wearable computer.[1]

Thorp received his Ph.D. from the University of California, Los Angeles in 1958, and worked at M.I.T. from 1959 to 1961. He was a professor of mathematics from 1961-1965 at New Mexico State University, and then joined then faculty at the University of California, Irvine where he was a professor of mathematics from 1965 to 1977 and a professor of mathematics and finance from 1977 to 1982.
Thorp subsequently decided to test his theory in practice in Reno, Lake Tahoe and Las Vegas.[7][4][6]
Thorp started his applied research using $10,000, with Manny Kimmel, a wealthy professional gambler and one-time illegal bookie with mob connections,[8] providing the venture capital. First they visited Reno and Lake Tahoe establishments where they tested Thorp's theory at the local blackjack tables.[7] The experimental results proved successful and his theory was verified since he won $11,000 in a single weekend.[4] He could have won more during his initial foray in Las Vegas had his uncanny ability at winning not drawn the unwelcome attention of the casino security, which led to repeated expulsions from the various premises that he visited that night. Casinos now shuffle well before the end of the deck as a countermeasure to his methods. During his Las Vegas casino visits Thorp frequently used disguises such as wraparound glasses and false beards.[7] In addition to the blackjack activities Thorp had assembled a baccarat team which was also winning.[7]
