Talk:Malaysian Pontoon

Opening comment
Aecis:

Original research? "Beating Pontoon" is not a first publication of original research. The section was taken out of a book that is in print. In addition, other authors (Frank Scoblete, Wild Bill at BJ21.com) discuss exactly the same thing and arrive at the same conclusions. I suggest that you go out and familiarise yourself with the literature before you draw conclusions on whether a page publishes original research. Most Wikipedia content was original research, once upon a time. The question is whether or not Wikipedia is the first publication of the research. If it is not, it is no longer defined as "original research." When it comes to games involving money, the first thing people want to know is whether it is beatable. Wikipedia is about the dissemination of knowledge. In this case, the beatability question was answered 10 ten years ago by Wild Bill (the handle of a mathematician who posts on BJ21.com).

A how to guide? At no time have I written a how-to guide on counting cards. "Beating Pontoon" was a common-sense list of reasons why the game is countable; a "why" rather than "how".

Steve Brown, Dosent like 20p Games and hates it when 2 or more players are in, If a harsh amount of money is lost heads or tails to regain 30p,

Josh wears a helmet :D

Tony carter hates it when we play cards, he also has stolen our 21!

who wrote this topic - Pontoon (card game)? the guy is not able to write a topic.
1) The person even did not mention the basic of this game, for example, the payouts for 777, 678, ...

2) Some people can write a very long topic to waste his/her and others' time, but can not think with common sense.
