| | Declared Uston: "This system reflects a totally new breakthrough in blackjack technology. Despite its power, the Uston SS is simple and can be learned and used more quickly than most other systems. Because of its simplicity, the average player can
increase his earnings rate, by playing far longer and much more accurately than if he used older, more complex systems." It is a basic truth of blackjack that to apply a simple system accurately is far better than to apply an advanced system incorrectly. In the first case you may not detect small advantages but large swings are identifiable and the player can take advantage of them. In applying an advanced system inaccurately, you may think a bias exists (in the deck) where none does
and wager money that is at greater risk than it has a right to be if the true count was known. In training for team play in Las Vegas, Uston recognized two areas his team members were consistently having trouble learning and applying---Running Count to True Count conversion and Ace Count. After exhaustive count and play-strategy computer runs, Uston concluded there were areas that could be scaled back, handled differently or eliminated entirely from a count system without affecting
accuracy to any great degree. |
