Chapter 1 - INTRODUCTION

The world has numerous stories of underdogs beating a favored competitor or opponent. We hear the story of David defeating Goliath, of Rambo annihilating a battalion, of a slayer crushing a fiery dragon. Stories like these move us… inspire us… stir our senses. They give us the impetus to achieve courageous feats. They give us a reason to believe that we too, as mere mortals, can take down a formidable foe.

Can a bird really exterminate serpents in real life, or do events like these exist only in fairy tales? Is there really a methodical way any underdog can use to consistently defeat the champion every time they clash? Similarly, is there really a methodical way any lowly gambler can use to beat the formidable casinos?

For as long as gambling has existed, many have tried answering this last question. Some are highly knowledgeable in mathematics, and some are armed with practical gambling skills. There are also those who use unconventional methods, and there are others who use their own irrational quirks. A great deal of inquiry has already been conducted into this subject time and again, and in every part of the globe.

The answers are as varied as the personalities who produce them. But with just glance you immediately know that most of the answers are not sensible, practical or realistic. The fact that the casinos are still standing, and still raking in big profits, is a reminder that none of the answers produced have even been noticed, much less caused a stir.

There are also answers that are so irrational that you wonder how their creators thought of them in the first place. Consider these systems used by other gamblers: One friend of mine would bet on Tie in Baccarat if Tie did not show for already nine times in succession. There was also a man who would bet on black in Roulette if black did not show for already three times in succession. Another man advised other gamblers to play only on a slot machine that hasn’t paid yet any of its players. There are also gambling experts who believe that if the dice were thrown in a certain fashion, it would favor certain numbers. Others assert that there are patterns in Baccarat so that the outcome can be predicted to some extent. I seriously wonder why there are still gamblers who believe in systems like these.

There were those who actually came up with logical answers that were unworkable in actual casino settings. Their systems would work only if alterations were to the mechanism surrounding the event. Take, for example, the Martingale betting system. In this system, the gambler keeps doubling his bets every time he loses, and returns to his original bet every time he wins. By using this method, a gambler always wins one-unit bet after every win. In theory the Martingale works, but in actual casino play the Martingale fails. The reason is because the casinos always put a limit on bet sizes. I have never heard of a gambling system that convinced me it has any practical value.

As to the question of whether or not there is a systematic way to defeat the casinos in extended playing, my answer is YES! I believe I have developed a gambling system that works for this purpose. The system works for me in my experiments and in my actual casino play, and because it is a system, I see no reason why it will not work for other gamblers. I call this gambling system The Samonte System.

Because it’s a system it can be tested to prove or disprove its claims. Anyone can separate the interlacing elements that made the System and study these elements separately to know how they function. Its consistency can also be verified. Any gambler can apply the System any time at any casino and expect the same result the System asserts.

You are probably thinking by now that the System maybe a breakthrough in mathematics or something of that sort. It is not. The System is actually nothing more than a common sense approach to winning. It is actually a series of smart plays that I integrated and found way to systematically apply at casinos. The System is also very simple in concept and there are no complicated formulas to memorize. Any gambler at any level can readily apply the System at either in land-based or online casino of his choice.

Before I wrote this book, I mentioned to a friend I had figured a way to beat the casinos. At first my friend was skeptical, and who wouldn’t be? Any rational person would. But my friend was ready to listen. As I explained to him the System’s details, he showered me with questions trying to disprove my theory - the same questions you would have asked had you been there. I fully answered his questions so that later, his doubts turned to curiosity and then to feverish interest.

This friend of mine was not a gambler and he had never been to a casino. Although he knew what a casino is, casino games were all Greek to him. He had played card games before but only for small stakes with selected friends, and only on weekends. He had always considered his gambling to be a recreational activity and never thought of getting serious about it. After he understood the System he told me he wanted to try it in an actual casino play. I thought he was only kidding. I never anticipated how my words could have an impact on him. I knew his decision would mean an investment of his time and money considering that the nearest casino is still a far travel. But the day my friend left for the casino, I realized he meant what he said.

He stayed in the casino for two days. While he was there I was worried about his venture. I was anxious how he would fare, not because I lacked confidence in my System, but because there were many things in extended playing my friend did not know yet. I was afraid that for some reason he might deviate from the System.

When my friend returned he was very excited about his first casino visit. He told me in detail his experiences in every session he played. He was now talking about Blackjack, Baccarat, and Craps - terms I’d never heard from him before. He also talked about the ineptness he observed in other gamblers. In that first trip he actually won, though not much. In fact his winnings were only enough to cover his expenses with a little left over. He said he could have won bigger if only he was courageous enough to apply the System in full. My apprehension then that my friend might deviate from the System was now confirmed. I understood though that this was because he was not the experienced gambler that I am. He was looking forward to trying the System again.

I know plenty are indifferent to gambling systems. There are always doubters. There are always those who will immediately dismiss the System as another hoax without giving the System the chance to prove its merits. In fact most, if not all mathematicians, are hostile to it. These math experts declare that no gambling system can ever overcome the casinos’ in-built mathematical advantage. At this early point I will not defend the System, but in later pages I put up a challenge to silence even the most hardened skeptic.

I know too, that some people will put the System under intense scrutiny to discover whether or not it can really stand up to its claims. I welcome any effort meant to dispel the doubts about the System. In fact, it is a better idea to try the System at home first, before applying it in the casinos. I myself am a veritable skeptic, and there was never a system that escaped my scrutiny. After finding all other systems to be useless and ineffective, I created a system of my own. Only after it passed my intense scrutiny and testing did I finally put my name to my System to share it with the rest of the world.

A casino is a formidable place. It has continually proved itself to be so to everyone, everywhere. The casinos have destroyed countless lives… devoured the biggest of human ambitions… humbled the hardest arrogance. Against a casino, a gambler is a sitting duck, a lamb for slaughter, a milking cow. Going against it is like scaling an insurmountable height. A casino is a place that deserves fear and respect.

Why is this so? Why are there more losers than winners in casinos? Who is responsible for the mess? Gamblers believe that the casinos are the cause of their misery. Actually, they are not. The casinos are just the receiving end of a favor. The real culprit is the Law of Probability, the Law that governs the likelihood of an event to occur. It is this Law that dictates how much each participant gives and receives in any gambling situation over an extended playing. The Law is the entity who calls the shot, pulls the strings. It is the eye in the sky, the invisible hand, the unseen force.

The undeniable reality is that the Law of Probability favors the casinos. This is because the Law works for the casinos, and there is nothing a gambler can do about this. This is the reason why casinos win and gamblers lose. This Law is the ever-dependable weapon the casinos use in fleecing the gamblers. What is ironic, however, is that the weapon the casinos use to fleece the gamblers is the same weapon the gamblers can use to fleece the casinos.

Quite literally, I had observed everything about the Law. At many times I had subjected the Law to scrutiny. I had also known the Law’s properties, its behavior, and its idiosyncrasies. At some point I imagined the Law as the king… the master… the most supreme. I had observed first hand how the Law mustered up its absolute power in exacting compliance from its subjects.

At some points I imagined that the event - the outcome when dice are rolled or cards are dealt - is the Law’s subject. Practically I had observed too, everything about the event. I had seen first hand how events behaved, their properties, their characteristics. At times I witnessed the events’ absolute obedience to the Law. At times, too, I observed how events went crazy and dysfunctional, and how they stubbornly obeyed their master.

On the internet I learned of a math expert who put up a challenge that no betting system could stand in a computer simulated billion-trial test. The challenge was for anyone who had created a betting system of his own. The math expert was putting up 20,000 dollars against only 2,000 dollars for the challenge. The condition was that a computer would deal one billion hands. If the betting system could come out ahead after a billion hands, its creator would win 20,000 dollars; otherwise, its creator would lose only 2,000 dollars.

This is a cute way to earn easy money. The math expert knew that in extended trials, no betting system could come out ahead in a game with negative expectations. The math expert
