About the Book

In the following pages there are no theories advanced, no reasons assigned for the system of bidding and play, no explanations given. You are simply told to do certain things with certain combinations of cards, and the author guarantees that if you will follow these directions conscientiously and consistently, no one will be more astonished than yourself at the improvement in your game.Auction is not the complicated game that some persons imagine. As the name implies, it is a bidding game, and the bidding is the principal part of it. As all bids must be made on the cards held, and as there are only a few possible combinations that are worth a bid, it should be a simple matter to classify them, and state the bids that should be made upon them. This part of the game is purely mechanical, based on the mathematical expectation of averages, just like an insurance policy. Any person of ordinary intelligence should be able to learn it.Why these bids should be made on the cards indicated, it is not the purpose of this work to state. That is for the more elaborate treatises on the game, such as "Foster on Auction." The pupil in school is not told why a pint of liquid is equal to a pound of weight, and the reader of these pages is not told why five hearts to the ace king should be good for the odd trick if hearts are trumps, and you play the hand.All one has to do to become a first-class player is to read the directions in these pages and follow them at the card table. The mathematical percentage of the game will do the rest. The best test of your improvement is not how many rubbers you win, but their value. If the average value of the rubber you win is anywhere from ten to fifty points greater than the average value of the rubbers you lose, you are a fine player.The following table of contents is so arranged that the reader may turn at once to any part of the tactics of bidding or play upon which he wishes to refresh his memory, or improve his game. If you cut into a rubber with persons who do not know these principles, or who do not apply them, you will have as much the best of it as if you were playing backgammon with loaded dice, because there is no game in the world in which the percentage in favor of sound bidding and play is greater than in auction bridge.
