Belution to Previous Contract Problem
Mathematics has a big part in the play of a hand... But I am not Inclined to favour it except when there is no better way to arrive at my deductions. The bidding or the drop of the cards can be counted on far better than can mathematics. The trouble with mathematics is that, while you may win on a car tain' play 80 per cent of the time, you do not know whether you hold prie of the 60 per cent or one of the 40 per cent hands, and you try to gamble with the result that you lose in the majority of times.
