Do Two Wrongs Make Me Right?
Regarding the can't miss, easy money blackjack strategy I passed along earlier today, the distinguished academician and wine connoisseur Professor Bainbridge sends along a note:
Of course you should hit on a soft-17 against a dealer's 6. In fact, you actually should double down
Come to think of it, he's right. Extremely right. Plus, he's quite correct in his blackjack advice. When the dealer is vulnerable to that degree, the strategy must be to get as much money on the table as the house will allow.
Point well taken from the Professor. And, as his email shows, he's found a better way to express the sentiment: "you're f*cking wrong, you g*d*mn *sshole" than I. No wonder he's tenured.
But let the record show, the Fembots were on the Bionic Woman. Too bad there's not a department of inane cultural studies somewhere, as I could be occupying a chair.
