Where can I find a copy of Edward O. Thorpe's paper, "Fortune's Formula: The Game of Blackjack"

Question

He presented this paper to the american mathematical society

Answer 1

Edward thorpe was one of the first people to pioneer blackjack advantage play, though he was not actualy the first.  He did this almost 50 years ago, if you did get a copy of this paper, it woudl be very outdated and likely not very informative.

Also the blackjack games he attacked back then were very different from the blackjack games offered today, so the information would be almost entirely irrelevant.
