The Accomplishments of Peter Griffin in the Blackjack World

The late Peter Griffin had been known as a mathematical genius, which was why nobody doubted his skills when he started playing professional blackjack. He effectively applied mathematical theories to the card counting systems, which allowed this professional blackjack player to become recognized all over the world.

Peter Griffin was born in 1937. He studied at the Portland State University, where he obtained his baccalaureate degree. He eventually studied at the University of California where he earned his master's degree. After graduation, he taught differential equations, calculus, and statistics at the California State University. He started teaching in 1965 and continued until his death on October 18, 1998. He died at the age of sixty one due to prostate cancer.

Being a grandson of the late Frank Loxley Griffin, a mathematician, there was no doubt about the ability of Peter Griffin to come up with mathematical theories in relation to gambling. In fact, he was able to develop parameters related to card counting systems which could be used to gain an edge in playing blackjack. Such parameters, namely, the Playing Efficiency and the Betting Correlation, are known to provide estimations with accuracy. Such parameters are also accurate in determining the differences of multi-level from single-level counting systems.

Peter Griffin wrote the blackjack book titled "The Theory of Blackjack: The Complete Card Counter's Guide to the Casino Game of 21." This book has been a success ever since its release in bookstores in 1978. In fact, book reviewers commented that the card counting systems explained and analyzed in this book seemed to be the most important of all explanations and analysis ever made about card counting. This book is considered to be as powerful as the book "Beat the Dealer," by blackjack giant Edward Thorp.

The second book that Peter Griffin wrote was "Extra Stuff: Gambling Ramblings." Among the topics discussed in such book are the impact of rebates on losses, games with variable payoffs, and proportional wagering. This book was also a success.

Due to the fact that the books of this professional blackjack player are effective and efficient, blackjack researchers have started to use his methods in an attempt to play blackjack the way Peter Griffin did when he was still alive. However, nobody would ever be like Peter Griffin. This professional blackjack player was always known to have his own style of playing.

When this professional blackjack player was not busy doing things related to blackjack, he would cycle, hike, travel with his wife, and study such languages as Italian, German and Spanish.

Indeed, despite the fact that Peter Griffin left the world early, he was able to leave a legacy that would forever be remembered.
