The modern blackjack game was invented in the early 1800s by a man named Charles Feyerabend. Feyerabend was a Swiss mathematician and gambler who is most famous for his theory of probability. According to his theory, chance does not play a major role in predicting how events will happen.
Instead, people’s beliefs about how likely an event is to occur influence how likely it actually is. This idea is known as the “Feyerabend Principle.”.
Feyerabend’s blackjack game was designed to test his theory. It involved two players, each of whom had a hand of cards.
The goal was to score as many points as possible by playing cards that increased your total number of points (such as an ace or two) and cards that decreased your opponent’s total number of points (such as a two or three). The player with the most points at the end of the game won.
Although Feyerabend’s blackjack game has never been officially recognized as an official form of the game, it is still played around the world today. It is especially popular in Europe and Asia, where it is known as ” Pai Gow.”.
