went on: TITS the class that produ-
ces the wealt'that makes gambling a
business. 1t the producers money
keeps the gan going. The chances he
has of winnil, with nothing against
him, and if HASN'T got a system and
isn't betting kh, are about one out of
two, or, mad two out of fve-that
is, he viii l4 two out of three, or in
three out O6va plays against the bank,
and no maJr iow often he wins he is
sure to be aesd loser In the end. If
he plays UinC has a system, the dealer
soon gets OEO it. If he is stuck on a
card or play'tlree on a side,' or odd
and even, both ends against the
middle it'll take the dealer no time
to find it O, and, as it is his duty to
protect theJank, he will shuttle the
cards so ASP lay the player out cold.
The playegenerally sticks to his sys.

the card by le ear Ii the player is
a high roller that is, a big better, and
has IL favorithrd, it may lose for him
all the time. IN that case the dealer
puts it on il proper pile, but if the
player Is wiring the dealer will throw,
this card doI c~arelessly, so that il
doesn't lay sarely on the pile. Pre-
tending to siighten them up, he will
slip the card nder the pile, and then
shuttle them that in the next deal
the players nnces are to lose; If the
player wins aln, the dealer will again
take inc carly the EAR. Those things
cannot be dj where there are a num-

it makes ~ difference to the bank
