The lessons it imparts are good. The discussion of independent (vs. dependent) trials explains why card counting works. Blackjack is a game of dependent trials: It has a \u201cmemory,\u201d which means that what\u2019s happened prior influences what will happen subsequently. It\u2019s the reason the game can be beaten. The discussion of standard deviation makes the point that you aren\u2019t guaranteed to win when you have the edge. However, if you\u2019re playing with an advantage, the more hands you play, the more likely that advantage will be realized. Even expert players run the risk of being stopped out of a good game if they don\u2019t have the bankroll necessary to withstand the fluctuations.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.888casino.com\/blog\/casino-money-math\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><b>T<\/b>his article was written by Nicholas Colon in association with 888Casino. <\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Casino Money Math<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Understanding the statistics used by casinos is essential in evaluating results.
