Abstract :
This paper develops a new idea, traces, which speeds up the search for candidate Blackjack betting systems by >400X. We then use traces to enable a new application of scatter search, which identifies alternative betting systems that are statistically identical to the best professional ones and exceed others in mean betting returns in a study of 21 systems.
