yULNERABILITY DECIDES

WOULD a sacrifice bid by your
self be proftable2 OF course not.
II you think your side may set the
opponents But, II you feel sure
they can make their contract, you
must weigh two things against
each other Would they score
more points against your saer!-
fee than by making their con-
tract? II 80. dent sacrifice, 1t not.
and if you will save points by sac
rihcing. then dc 1t. The question
Of how many points your saSrlhca
will produce depends upon how
many tricks you will be set and
whether you are vulnerable or not.
Vulnerability therefore decides
many Of these questions.
