The Worst Hand in
Blackjack
By Henry
Tamburin
No
other hand makes blackjack players feel queasy
than the dreaded 16. Players hate to hit the hand
because they are afraid to bust. So many chicken
out and stand no matter what the dealer shows.
Others opt for the surrender option if it's
available figuring losing half a bet is better
then losing it all.
If your 16 comes as a pair of 8's
most players are reluctant to split if the dealer
shows a 9, 10, or ace because they are afraid of
losing two bets instead of one. Then there is the
16 made up with an Ace counted as 11 (i.e., soft
16). So what's a player to do when he gets a
16?

Fame
The vpFREE video poker internet group
recently announced the election of Michael
"The Wizard of Odds" Shackleford as the 2007
inductee into the vpFREE Video Poker Hall of
Fame.
Michael "The Wizard of Odds" Shackleford,
A.S.A., is a
professional actuary who has made
a career of analyzing casino games. He runs the
numbers on new games for casinos and game
developers and has helped design many of the
popular slot machines on the Internet. He is
currently an Adjunct Professor of Casino Math at
the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, a former
contributing editor to Casino Player magazine, and
the author of the book Gambling 102, recently
published by Huntington Press.
We extend our congratulations to Michael
and we remind you that Steve interviewed
him in June of this year for his opinion
on which casino games are beatable. They discussed
slots, video poker, blackjack, craps, roulette and
baccarat with tips from Mike on how to either
beat a game, or lessen the casino's
advantage.
The vpFREE Video Poker Hall of Fame was
established in 2002 and has nine previous
inductees including Dan Paymar, whose Optimum
Video Poker software is on sale this
month. |

See you next month!
