According to Hoyle
The Hoyle in question here is Edmond Hoyle (1672-1769), the English barrister
and writer, who was the author of several works on card-games. He was, and
still is, cited as the final authority when disputes on the rules of card games
arose.
Hoyle's
Short Treatise on the Game of Whist
included not only the rules but
gave many insights into how the win at the game. In view of that it was sought
after but, due to the high price of one guinea, many illegal copies circulated.
Genuine copies bore the qualifying statement 'No copies of this book are
genuine but what are signed by Edmond Hoyle and Thomas Osborne'. The esteem
that genuine 'Hoyles' were given no doubt added to the book's reputation as
being the only true source of definitive facts concerning the game. Hoyle wrote
several other books on cards and other pastimes.
The earliest known use of the phrase is O. Henry's story
Four Million
, 1906:
"The financial loss of a dollar sixty-five, all so far fulfilled according
to Hoyle." - According to Wikipedia
