Statistics
Next to the 'good feeling' at the bridge table, inspired by the fact that you can handle all
situations with MUTOS, but also because you will be remembered as the annoying opponent
but who alerts everything in a correct way and explains everything , there is also the more
scientific, statistical argumentation that explains why MUTOS is an improvement, an
evolution.
ƒ In MUTOS you bid all hands from 16hp with 1♣ . This is creating simplicity : you only
need to manage one opening for all these hands. Coverage : 10% of all possible
hands or 25% of opening-hands.
ƒ All hands between 12-15 hp are opened with either 1♦ ( 8%), 1♥ ( 9%) or 1♠ ( 8.7%).
This groups 26% of all possible hands.
ƒ The "gain" in MUTOS is that you enter the auction with much more weak hands based
on distribution strengths. 17,2 % compared with 2,6% for multi 2♦ and 6% for
Muiderberg.
ƒ Do not be surprised that often you must pass : in 45% of the cases you are too weak or
you do not have the proper distribution to open. In traditional systems this percentage is
53 % !
