Early blackjack counting systems development
|
During the early 70th, Dr. Keith Taft began developing the first concealed blackjack computer, and by 1972, Keith had started using a computer in the Nevada casinos to play "perfect" blackjack. Nevada had no laws at that time prohibiting the use of devices at their tables. Keith's first computer weighed fifteen pounds. He went on to develop dozens of concealable computers and other electronic devices over the next two decades, ever smaller and more powerful. By the mid-'70s, Keith and his son, Marty, had met Al Francesco, and they would be putting together teams of players using computers to beat the blackjack tables.
Here's how it worked
In the toe of each shoe there were two "switches," or buttonsâone above each big toe and one beneathâfor a total of four switches. Each switch conveyed a different code to the computer, which was a small epoxy-encased device that was strapped to the calf beneath the trousers. The computer itself was about the size of a pack of cigarettes, but thinner.

The Birth of Blackjack Team Play in the 1970's
|
In the early 1970s, card counting became big business. One of the most creative and successful players from that time (or any time) was Al Francesco, who had been playing since 1963 and had traveled with Lawrence Revere for a while. As a poker player, Al knew that the best way for a player to make money was to disguise his strength from his opponents, but he couldn't figure out a way that a card counter could do this at a blackjack table. Then, in 1971, it hit him. That year, Al started his first blackjack teams, using the Big Player (BP) approach. It was the method he'd been seeking for eight years.
Here's how it happened. Al was in a casino with his brother, who was also a card counter, and his brother was playing dollar blackjack, spreading from $1 to $5 while they were killing time before dinner. Al wasn't playing, but was standing beside the table talking to friends. On a whim, whenever he noticed his brother had a $5 bet on the table, Al would shoot out a $100 bet, knowing that the count must be high, but otherwise paying no attention to the game.
