5 XBLACKJACK21, GAMES, Game of blackjack under X Window          Xblackjack is a MOTIF/OLIT?     based tool constructed to get you ready for the casino.  It M     was inspired by a book called "Beat the Dealer" by Edward O. Thorp, Ph.D. J     of UCLA.  A number of important statistics are maintained for display,H     and used by the program to implement Thorp's "Complete Point System"     (high-low system).G     Harvey Dubner presented the strategy at a panel session of the 1963 #     Fall Joint Computer Conference.   
     The COUNT :     used by the strategy starts at zero after the shuffle.=     When you see a 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 you add one to the COUNT. 7     Subtract one when you see a ten, face card, or ace. 0     The 7, 8, and 9 have no effect on the COUNT.M     When the COUNT is positive your odds are favorable;  you should bet more, 6     and then stand, double down, and split more often.  I     The complete system takes the number of uplayed cards into account; a N     COUNT of 2 in the last hand is better than a COUNT of 2 in the first hand.  *     All selections are made using the LEFT     mouse button. 8     Bets are placed using the scale labelled "your bet".'     Choices are made by clicking on the 4     pushbuttons (split, double down, hit, or stand).     ?     Game status and results are shown in the message pushbutton >     below the card area.  Pressing it will reveal the high-low     INDEX calculation:  "                 (COUNT*100)/UNSEEN  K     The strategy recommends you bet half the INDEX in favorable situations, <     and only buy insurance when the INDEX is greater than 8.G     When  making a choice, the relevant table corresponding to the best      choice is revealed too:                      Pair Spliting                    Doubling Down   3                 Drawing or Standing with Hard Hands   3                 Drawing or Standing with Soft Hands   M     Press the message button repeatedly to cycle through the relevant tables. O     There are separate standing tables for HARD and SOFT hands.  A hand is SOFT E     if it contains an Ace that can contribute 11 to the total without ,     exceeding 21.  All other hands are HARD.  N     When making choices, first decide if you should split (when you can), thenJ     whether or not to double down, and finally if you should hit or stand.  E     Test the strategy using the slider to the right of the card area. H     The program will play unattended, until you return the slider to theL     bottom.  You can stop by pressing the bottom area of the scale to returnE     the slider there immediately, or click on the message pushbutton.          
